Stampin' Up! Australia - Papillon Potpourri - Butterfly Card

Hi

A friend at work asked me to make them a card based on this one by Claudia from Ink Paper Love. Claudia's card is really cool....it had different coloured butterflies flying out of a jar and she had created some cool swirly stitching on her card too. My friend at work wanted blue tones to the card so I set about trying to recreate the look and feel of Claudia's original (without having to use any sewing since I'm terrible at that!! :) ). 

Claudia was kind enough to give her blessing for me to publish this CASE'd card to share with you. :)


I used the Hearts a Flutter framelits to make my "jar" out of acetate (window sheet). I used a corner rounder punch to round the corners of the shape and snipped off the end part to make the top of the jar. 



I then just used a Basic Black Marker to draw on my jar. 



The colours of the butterflies are Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Midnight Muse and Baja Breeze. 



My work colleague loved the card! YAY!



Cheers
