Butterfly Gala Take Two...

Hi all,

As mentioned yesterday, today's cards will have the theme of butterflies! I have created 4 cards in a set using the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and Butterfly Duet Punch, both of which completely SOLD OUT within the first 2 months of being available in the UK, WOW!

Today's card is using shades and textures of the scrummy Coastal Cabana colour that features in our Brights Collection. This colour, for some reason, always makes me think of the seaside and makes me feel happy!

I have used Thick A4 Whisper White Cardstock to create the cardbase which measures 10.5cm x 30cm and scored at 15cm. I have added a top layer of Coastal Cabana Cardstock and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the sentiment feature, I have cut a selection of circles using circle punches, and the sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed. This sentiment is part of the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and I think it is such a nice way to let someone know you appreciate them.

For the butterflies, I have stamped two sets of each set, one using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Coastal Cabana Cardstock, and Coastal Cabana Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. The bodies have been stamped once punched out in Tuxedo Black Memento.

I have arranged the butterflies across the front of the card, stuck and then used Tuexdo Black Memento to stamp the antennae to finish.

For the insert of this card, I have cut the same size piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock, and before attaching inside, I have used the Butterfly Duet Punch to cut out the two butterflies at the bottom right hand corner. Once stuck in the card, I have used my Stamparatus Stampin' Platform to line up the butterfly image inside the apperture and used Tuxedo Black Memento to stamp the images. Clever!

To finish this card, I have stamped a small butterfly onto the envelope in the matching colour combination!
