The Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is 'Butterflies + Y is for Years and/or Yellow' and The Craft Barn Challenge is 'Butterflies'- more than one, so my butterfly card is for a soon to be 80 year old, predominately yellow and definitely has more than one butterfly!
I created the background using a Die-namics 'Flying Butterflies' die. I usually use this die as a panel down the side, but this time I used the die twice, side by side, to make the rows of butterflies wider. The butterfly is Poppystamps 'Lyndon Butterfly' and 'Elsa Butterfly' in yellow and blue to match the background, with three tiny white pearls added for the body. The butterfly is layered on MB 'Stitched Circle' and 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die cuts. MB 'Stitched Rectangle' dies were used for the sentiment and two of the 'waste' yellow butterflies from the background were added on the sentiment panel.
I'm joining in the following challenges:
Butterfly #57 ~ Butterflies + Y is for Years and/or Yellow
The Craft Barn Two Weekly Challenge ~ Butterflies (more than one)
Poppystamps Challenge #22 ~ Fly Away With Me
That's Crafty Challenge ~ Feminine Theme

ReplyDeleteBlue and yellow works so well. I really like that background die cut tiny butterflies. A very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteGreat creative use of this border die, and it's so very effective the way you've used to make the coverplate of butterflies for this cheery card. Blue & yellow are such happy colors (we have some of house decorating in blue & yellow). It's just lovely, TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant card.

Such a very fab idea to make that wonderful background.
I also love the yellow and blue colour choice.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Amazing butterfly card and my favorite colors too!
ReplyDeleteAll those little negative butterflies in the background go beautifully with the pretty ornate butterfly mounted on the stitched and scalloped circles and a lovely card for this 80 year old. I love the pastel blue and yellow tones together too. x
