Beautiful Butterflies for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #182 on the 5th of April, 2022

 

I'm a bit late today as we have just come off of daylight saving and I have messed up the time.

Anyway, for this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog we have the optional theme of

BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

(Use a butterfly)

I searched through images that I had previously stamped or printed that I knew had a butterfly - Power Poppy is always a good bet! So here is a card using Climbing Clematis Digital Stamp Set by the wonderful Marcella at Power Poppy:

I have a new ShotBox photo booth, so I am playing with the lighting and placement of the card within the box. So here is another photo a bit further away and one of the inside:

I also took a few photos with the card laying flat and taking the photo from the top:

The image Climbing Clematis Digital Stamp Set was digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and then coloured with the following Copics markers:

• green - YG21, YG23, YG25
• orange - YR12, YR14, YR15, YR18
• purple - BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, V20
• butterflies - V28, V09

I used my paper cutter to cut around the coloured image and adhered it on the front of a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions.

Then on the inside of the card, I have adhered two die cut butterflies from the August 2015 Club La-La Land Crafts kit and coloured them with the Copic markers above.

I outlined the sentiment with a black glitter pen.

Here are some close up photos:

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Monthly Classes and Bonus Classes from the awesome Alyce at Kit and Clowder.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
