Beauty Abounds - quick & simple
Here are the details for our first project this week using Beauty Abounds.
Using a panel of whisper white card that was cut 5mm smaller than the front of the note card, we embossed one side using one the of the embossing folders from Petal Pair.
The butterflies were cut from whisper white card - there are many to choose from on these extra large dies.
You can see the ones I choose to use above - you need the matching butterflies from both dies for this project.
Using tiny dots of Tombow the two butterflies were carefully glued together.
We then used sponge daubers to add some colour using a combination of swirling and dabbing motions. I love how the colours blend to create extra colour and, you can of course vary the intensity of the colour to create a different look.
We stamped the sentiment (Itty Bitty Birthdays) onto a scrap of card 1cm and trimmed off the word 'you'. We then used some Bermuda Bay card and the 'YOU' die that is from the Celebrate You Thinlites.
The butterfly has been adhered using Tombow down the length of the body only. The wings have been shaped slightly to give dimension and a sense of movement.
The Sentiments have been adhered with offcuts left over from the mini dimensional sheets!
The inside of the card and the envelope have as usual, been stamped to coordinate. I think this tiny trio of splodges is a new favourite of mine!
Here is the completed card and envelope.
I love everything about this card - I knew as soon as I saw it on Pinterest that I would have to make a version myself! Thanks again to Lauren for providing the inspiration - I hope you approve of the changes I made to your design. (You can find a link to Lauren's card in my previous post).
I have two further C & C sessions this week, if you would like to join me to make this card and another project, you can all find the details here. Don't forget that if you place a £25 plus order on Thursday you can craft for free!
Details of the products I used for this project can be found below.
Hope you can join me for a crafty coffee soon.
