I have a gorgeous butterfly to share with you today. Generally I do not choose the butterfly sets but this one really got my attention. Part of the grab is the matching Die set and the other are the sweet sentiments that go along with the butterflies. You will be seeing more of this bundle in the near future from me!
STAMPS & DIES
This card is all about the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle! This is a fabulous bundle of images, sentiments, and some really neat Die details. My card is a bit on the simpler side of things for this first one. The big star is the large butterfly. You can see the wonderful details of the Die even in my photo. To give myself away, I actually intended to use the other side of the butterfly as I chose that paper first. But after seeing the detail and it seemed to show better on this more floral side. The detail on the reverse does not disappoint either.
To decide on the sentiment for the front of the card became a bit of a challenge. There is a lot going on for this card front. Since the butterfly is so large and I have it going from edge to edge, I opted to do the same with the sentiment. This strip of Daffodil Delight was from trimming the layer. I cut it to fit and then stamped this simple Happy Birthday.
PAPERS
The butterfly and the DSP layer are one sheet from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. As I said above, my plan was to use the other side of the butterfly. That is what is now the layer pattern. I flipped both pieces back and forth a few times until I decided to go as you see.
The flowers at the bottom of the card are from another sheet from this same DSP. I fussy cut these little flowers to add to the card. There is also a corner piece on the inside of the card. Please remember when you have a design in the corner of a sheet that it is not wasted! They work wonderfully by being cut out and added to the bottom of the inside layer. I apologize that I failed to get a photo.
EXTRAS
To add some bling to this card was debated for a few minutes. There really is a lot going on here. But I gave in to my normal way of doing things. And I am so happy I did. These gold dots are from the new Low-Profile Dots that are an Online Exclusive item. And they are really low profile! In fact they feel almost flat. This pack has both gold and a pink/coral color. You will be seeing me use a lot of these little sweeties!
