Beautiful Butterflies (Use a butterfly) for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #206 on the 5th of April, 2024

 

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 again decided to do something quick and easy using La-La Land Crafts products, as I have been working quite a bit.

So, here is my card:

This card is actually a lift, or hitchhike from the Lift Challenge from last month and is called a Trellis Split Card Front Design! Bibi Cameron has some awesome examples. So I gave it a go using a white slimline card from Envelope Solutions. I just cut off 4 strips of around 1.5 cm and then two strips of 0.5 cm and used the narrower strips as the joining pieces - I adhered everything with double sided tape and glue. It was fun to make!

Then I have die cut daisies from one of the papers from the Life Documented Paper Pack and Open Daisy die. The centre of the flower is the other side of the paper. The stems and leaves were die cut from green cardstock.

Then I die cut the butterfly from another piece of the Life Documented Paper Pack and Butterfly die. I actually drew around the die on to Kraft paper and adhered the butterfly wings and body on to it as I wanted to include all the inside pieces.

I then die cut an oval from white cardstock using Double Stitched Ovals die and then stamped the sentiment from A Good Day Clear Stamp Set using Bahama Blue Memento ink.

I would like to enter this card into a few challenges:

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:
