Fluttering Around



Hello! Today I am playing with a butterfly stamp from Repeat Impressions and I have created two different cards with the same stamp but for two different occasions. On the first card (right) I stamped the butterfly 3 times on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.  I added some stitches with black thread to connect the butterflies in flight. Stamped the Repeat Impressions Happy Birthday with the same black ink.  Finished with a mat of Black cardstock and Yellow card base. 
For the second card I started with a background of Patterned Paper from Our Daily Bread Designs Shabby Rose collection.  I stamped the butterfly twice with DOI Frayed Burlap on an Ivory CS and colored with Copics. Then I fussy cut the two butterflies and attached to the background with foam tape. Stamped a Repeat Impressions sentiment with the Frayed Burlap ink and added some rose colored sequins. Used a Glossy Ecru card base.  This all purpose card can be used for many occasions.

  2. Isn't it amazing how changing the color of the butterflies and the background can make such a big difference! Both cards are very pretty, Theresa, and I love the additional details of how you connected the butterflies on your first card and added all the bling to your second card! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #29! Hugs, Darnell
