Watercolor Wings

I really have been working hard in my studio using lots of the new products in the Holiday Catalog…unfortunately they are for swaps and future classes so I can’t show them off yet!  Soon, I hope!  So…I finally sat down and played with the colors to make a Monarch looking butterfly with Watercolor Wings for my Stamp Club last month.  Here’s a card I made with a leftover butterfly!

 

Here are the details on how to recreate this card:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Whisper White, folded in half.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party was embossed across the top 2/3s with the Elegant Dots Embossing folder.  A strip of Cherry on Top Washi Tape is placed under the embossed area.
• The 2 x 4-3/4 Whisper White was punched with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch, then Calypso Coral Seam Binding was placed thru the hole with Daffodil Delight Baker’s Twine tied in a bow.
• You are so kind from Watercolor Wings was stamped with Hello Honey Ink at the bottom of the tag.  A 1/8 x 2-1/2 strip of Calypso Coral cardstock was added to the tag, and then a Perfect White Accent added on it.  The tag is popped up on the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The Watercolor Wings butterfly was stamped with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Watercolor Wonder Inks and cut with the new Bold Butterfly Thinlets.  A Basic Black outline butterfly from Butterfly Thinlets was cut and adhered over top.  I love how both sets of butterfly framelits work with each other!  I added the butterfly to the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

OK…love it!  Hope you are inspired, too!  Those butterflies are so much fun to make!
