Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Bokeh

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Tamsin’s blog.

Here are the essentials:

• This card was pulled together from scraps.....seriously...it was!
• The base is Kraft and then theres a layer of Very Vanilla card stock stamped with Hardwood in Crumb Cake and then sponged and ‘distressed’ with Gorgeous Grunge. I had this layer in my stash as it didn’t make the cut for another card. 
• The bokeh layer was done so long ago that I can’t remember the colours....but any tones in yellow, orange, pink and green would work if you wanted to reproduce this. 
• You can stamp on vellum and it comes out beautifully soft. I chose vellum to let the bokeh layer through. I stamped a sentiment from Botanicals for You in Crumb Cake. 
• The Pool Party butterfly framelit was also an off-cut. You may also notice that the frame-lit has had surgical enhancement. The two pointy bits at the bottom were too low for my card, so I creatively snipped them off and made sure that the edge had a curve like the rest of the butterfly. 
• A vellum butterfly and a metal-rimmed pearl are the perfect finishing embellishment. 

Here is our sketch for this week:
