Bountiful Butterflies

Morning, I am off to a workshop today and am really looking forward to some time to myself doing something I love and it means I should come home with some more projects to share with you another day.


Today's card is one of my favourite styles, a Twisted Easel card.  The card base is one of this years In-Colours, Island Indigo and has a mat of Pool Party which helps make the design pop.  The front of the card was scored diagonally which allows it to sit up in front of the base.  The butterflies are all cut from the In Colour Designer paper stack using the Beautiful Wings embosslits die in the Big Shot. The embosslits are great as they emboss designs as  they cut. The greeting is from the Perfect Punches stamp set and 3D mounted.

Twisted Easel Card

 I'm quite pleased with this one,  my inspiration was a card which we made at Amanda's last workshop, it's called a twisted easel style card because of the way it stands. I have to confess, I pinched the colour combination of whisper white, pretty in pink and rich razzleberry from Amanda too; it was one of the cards that we did as a make and take at the Brighton show. The stamps are from a current Stampin Up hostess set, I stamped the hydrangea in razzleberry ink and used a blender pen to colour it in.  I also used the tiny flower from that set on the back of the card, The background stamp, en francais, is stamped in pretty in pink.  A touch of razzleberry ribbon and a sentiment raised on a dimensional completes the card.

I'm going to use this at a workshop I am doing at the weekend along with a pillow box project.
