Say thanks with the new Blue River Butterfly floating over a Butterfly Coterie Collage background. Blue River’s detailed design stands out against the background’s simple outlines. Hi, Jean here with a mix of classic favorites and a beautiful new butterfly from our 2024 Fuchsia Collection for your summer projects.
Cut Blue River Butterfly from the lavender 6×6 in the Lagoon Solid Core Collection. Cut the wing accents from the violet Glitzy Glitter Pad 6×6. Cut the antennae/body from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6×6.
Spray a blue/purple ink-blended piece of cardstock with a light layer of Imagine’s Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry. Cut white cardstock with Butterfly Coterie Collage – leave a generous border to diecut the globe. Position the collage over the inked/spritzed background to find the right colors for the butterflies. Cut the white cardstock and the inky background together using the 3-½” wide Nested Globes die. Trim a bit from the edges of the inked background and attach it behind the collage. Trim the bottom with a corner rounding punch.
Round the corners of a white top-folded A2 card. Attach the diecuts – use foam tape for the edge of the Blue River Butterfly’s wings. Add a Thank You Foil Greeting White Tab (trim the ends a bit) and blue Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. I like contrasting bold design elements like the butterfly with a small greeting. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Thanks for visiting – have a relaxing weekend, or a great trip if you’re traveling!
