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

Festive Friday Challenge #25 - Stampin' Up! Baroque Motifs

Hello

Here is another Festive Friday Challenge creation.....this time it is a sketch challenge....here is the sketch.

Originally I was thinking "ornament punch", "baubles" etc.... but then I thought of doing those wonderful poinsettia flowers using the 5 Petal Punch. I'd seen them on various blogs before and thought they looked so lovely! 



For my poinsettia flower I used the Red Glimmer Paper....SO SPARKLY!! I consulted my Stampin' Up! Colour Coach and had a look at the various 'red' cards and the combination that jumped right out at me was the "Riding Hood Red" card which suggested Riding Hood Red-Lucky Limeade-Perfect Plum....how gorgeous!! What do you think?.....

I used my new Simply Scored Scoring Tool to creat a nice border around my vanilla cardstock and inked up the "Seasons Greetings" from Curly Cute by rocking & rolling in Perfect Plum and Riding Hood Red....I think the effect is quite lovely. I lightly sponged the vanilla card with Perfect Plum, concentrating on the bottom a bit more than the sides and put a gorgeous little silver glimmer brad through my flower. I then mounted the main panel onto a piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock.     

Hope you enjoy my card and please play along with us at Festive Friday Challenges!! :)
