Butterfly Wishes by Jenny Gropp

Jenny Gropp shares a beatiful card today using  F8864 Paris Postcard, CS377 Kate (sentiment),
and DIE015-F Flag Die Set

 Well.... This card is simple and could be reproduced fairly quickly... I worked on it for over two hours. I'm not even kidding. I die cut a lot of layers using different colors and played around mixing and matching. I ended up with all white! Sometimes the mojo flows and sometimes not so much! I used only a portion of the Paris Postcard image as the focus of my card.

 

 

You can see I stamped the butterfly twice and then cut the second butterfly, cutting along the butterfly edge. Not a lot of technique on the coloring, just add colors around blending one color in to the next. Y23 covers the entire butterfly as my last layer of color. 

 

 

I gently bent the wings of the second butterfly. I glued the body down flat and then the wings are supported using dimensional silicone. The silicone will dry with the cve in place, which means the wings will never go flat.

 

 

       On the inside.... I used the Scalloped Flag Die to add my sentiment. You can also see I     added a plain white layer on the inside... this just gives the back flap of my card a little extra support. I also prefer to use 110# paper for may card bases, especially when the card is made from delicate dies.

Have a great day!

Absolutely gorgeous! What is dimensional silicone/brand name? and what is the die background? Your work is exceptional. Thanks for always sharing. I'm looking forward to your response and more cards.

Love the coloring of the butterfly, it just pops from the card, such pretty layering of the framing!

Love the dimensional butterfly and how it stands out against the white. The time paid off - it's beautiful!
