Because of my blessings I often run out of time to create just for the sake of creating.
I do find time every once in a while and I was lucky enough to do so today.
A very good friend of mine was recently married and I had yet to make her a card.
Eeeep.
Fortunately for me the Large Butterfly Frame made it super quick and easy to create a card I know she'll love.
I covered my cardstock super quickly with Distress inks. I didn't take any real time to blend because I knew I was going to die cut it. The areas being die cut were so intricate that I knew any imprefections in my blending wouldn't show.
Once my butterflies were die cut they were gorgeous as is. I wanted to change it up a bit so I trimmed the butterflies out of their frame. Just to get a bit of depth I added a bit of copic marker to create bodies and then just a bit of shading on the inside of their wings.
I also busted out my white gel pen to give their bodies and wings a bit more interest.
I adhered them to a smaller piece of white cardstock and then popped up the panel on some white foam. I added the dimensional piece to a white card base. It's hard to tell in the photo but I lifted up some of the wings for added dimension.
The sentiments available in the Modern Peonies set were perfect for a wedding card. I love sets like this that give you different options to build your own sentiments.
A few clear sequins and a bit of Wink of Stella finished the card off.
Did you notice I've fallen victim to the new photo staging trend?
Haha. They were all so pretty! I couldn't help but be sucked it.
What do you think?
Thanks so much for dropping in!

I thing your card is stunning and I like the way you staged the photos. I'm way too lazy to do that :-) That butterfly die is definitely on my wish list.
ReplyDelete*think, not thing.
DeleteBeautiful card! I'm not a big fan of the wood slice with flowers, etc photo prop. To me it's distracting and takes focus away from the card. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think your card is gorgeous! I love butterflies and these are so pretty. I am on the fence about the photo staging. It's a lot of work, I think and sometimes you can't get a really good close up of the card to show the details when you have to include the props. Also, it's an additional expense when papercrafting can already get pretty pricey.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty card! Love your colorful butterflies!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and pretty staging.
ReplyDeleteFor the exceptionally brave are extraordinary wedding topics. These incorporate any semblance of submerged weddings, bungee-bouncing focuses or mid-air weddings. wedding preparations
