Pop-up Butterflies

Hello friends, I am excited to be sharing with you my card featuring bring it back Lawn Fawn dies, mini pop-up butterflies and spring sprig. My bring it back item is flower confetti attached to the spring sprig. Other bring it back items also used Gotta have gingham paper pack lavender as my background panel. Here is my finished card.

I started off by ink swooshing my white panel using ripe persimmon, tattered rose, picked raspberry distress inks as well as Catherine Pooler sweet sixteen, blueprint sketch and shaded lilac distress oxides. I worked by layer until I achieved the shade that I wanted for the background. Next, I arranged the pop-up butterflies onto my panel and diecut them. Next, as I had previously been playing with alcohol inks (intrigue alcohol pearl, pinata rich gold, copic BV02 and B32), I used this alcol inked panel to diecut the other butterflies to layer them on top. Then, I added the sprig diecuts which were coloured with shaded lilac oxide ink. Lastly, I heat embossed in white the sentiment "wishing you a beautiful day" from Lawn fawn bicycle built for you stamp set.

This card is for Lawnfawnatics Challenge #71 - Bring it Back

You're Adorbs...

Hello friends, I am back with another card, this time using the adorable, though retired, Petite Plushies from Clearly Besotted stamps. I decided to make this card for my adorable step grandson turning three in a few months. I started my card by cutting my front panel from designer paper and the circle diecut using Mama Elephant's All Prettied Up Die cuts.  Next, I inked my base circle using tumbled glass, salty ocean and peacock feathers. I also inked the outer circle with broken china distress oxide after stacking the diecuts together three times. For my images, I coloured these with copic markers and added foam tape to give it some dimension before adhering it to my circle panel as shown below:

For the sentiment, I used the word "happy" from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy and the birthday from Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words stamp and die.

Here is my finished card.
