I am having a lot of fun with the Papillon Potpourri set and the butterfly punch! I just LOVE that punch. It sure makes it easier to make the cards I want with butterflies on them because I know I don't have to cut them out by hand. I've had several cards I wanted to make but the thought of cutting out the image turned me off and it went by the wayside. But with this set and the butterfly punch I can make all the beautiful butterfly cards I want and not have to cut a single one of them out! Well, unless I want to incorporate the smaller butterflies in the set into my card. But for now I don't!!!
This card was fun and easy to make. I added an embossed Dotted background piece to the Whisper White card base. Then I punched out three strips using the Ribbon Punch. The hard part of that was getting a thin layer of Dimensionals scrap to the back of the strips. But I did manage. And I did manage to get them just a bit crooked too but oh well, what's done is done and besides, it is a handmade card, isn't it??? I put those 3 strips onto a strip of white and then taped that to the front of the card.
The words came from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set. I stamped them and then punched them out with the 1-3/8"" circle punch. I punched out a Daffodil Delight scalloped circle and taped the words to it. I did trim the bottom up a bit. Why I don't know, it all was hidden behind the white strip. I just wanted them to be evened up. See how nice it looks on the card with the scalloped piece and circle evened up? LOL It didn't make a bit of difference, just me being picky!!! LOL
Then I stamped the butterfly using black StazOn ink. I colored it in with markers and a blender pen and then I punched it out. I taped it in place on the punched ribbon pieces and that was it. Very easy, simple and clean!
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
