Sneak Peek: Decorative Butterflies

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the new Decorative Butterflies stamp set. The Decorative Butterflies stamp set includes both solid and outline butterflies, along with patterns and sentiments.

New release will be available March 6th

For my first card, I used the solid images to stamp with dye inks. I added patterns with a darker ink in the same colour family, then went one ink darker for the butterfly bodies.

I  die cut everything with the coordinating dies and adhered the bodies onto the butterfly wings.

Next, I used the new Layered Butterfly Lattice stencil set. This is a 2 layer stencil set, and I used a light grey ink on the lattice and Nuvo Glacier Paster in Winter White for the butterflies. Once dry, I trimmed this down to 5” square and adhered to a 5.25” card base.

To add a place for my sentiment to go, I die cut one of the new Eyelet Circles from white card. I stamped a sentiment from the Decorative Butterflies stamp set, then adhered the circle in the centre of my card.

I finished by adding the butterflies with foam tape for dimension.

For my second card, I used the outline images in the Decorative Butterflies stamp set.

I stamped them over some patterned papers, then added shading with copic markers. On some of the images, I heat embossed the patterns with gold embossing powder.

Copic colours:
R30 R20 R22; RV00 RV10 RV21: G40 G43; B000-01; BV00-02; E70 E71 E74

I cut a panel of white card, 5.5” x 2.75”, and adhered butterflies across the panel. For the butterflies without patterns added, I decided not to add the bodies so they were more of a background element.

I trimmed away anything overhanging the edges of the panel, then adhered it on an A2 card base. I adhered a strip of patterned paper below, then stamped a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Easter stamp set to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek of the March 6th release!
