More Butterfles, Only Punched

Butterflies seem to be very popular this year, with not one, but two stamp sets featuring these winged creatures in the Occasions catalogue.

The last three posts featured cards made using the Butterfly Beauty framelits. Today's post features a card made using the Butterfly Gala stamp set and it's coordinating Butterfly Duet punch.

The butterflies were stamped with Black Memento on Whisper White, coloured with Mint Macaron blendabilites. They were then punched with the Butterfly Duet punch.

The base card is Mint Macaron card stock, layered with Whisper white embossed with the Layered Petal embossing folder.

On the left is a 2" strip of Love What You Do DSP edged on both sides of Mint Macaron card stock punched using the Ribbon Edge Punch.

Before adhering this to the card base, 1/4" organza ribbon and bow, coloured with the Mint Macaron blendability. is added. The sentiment, stamped in Mint Macaron, is added to the lower right.

The two larger and one smaller butterflies were added to the card front as shown in the picture on the left and Clear Wink of Stella applied to their wings.

Three pearls were coloured with a Blackberry Bliss blendability and added to the upper right.

The stamens of the butterflies were stamped after the butterflies were attached to the card.

On the left shows a close up of the wonderfully detailed butterflies.
