Butterflies

This is a card I created for a workshop I had yesterday.  I wanted to use the butterfly punches (Elegant Butteryfly Punch #127526 from the Stampin' Up! catalog and Bitty Butterfly Punch #129406 from the Spring Catalog)  and the Bigz Beautiful Butterflies Die #114507.  The little "thank you" verse is from the set Pretty Petites stamp set in the Sale-a-bration brochure that I earned free with a $50 purchase and I used the Petite Curly Label Punch  that I also earned from the SAB brochure to punch it out.  The colors I used are Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and whisper White.  I added Pearl Basic Jewels #119247 for the body of the butterfly.  The Old Olive background is by using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder #129378 in the Big Shot #113439.  The Rich Razzleberry oval is from using the Oval Framelit Dies #129381 in the Big Shot.

Swallowtail on Parker's Patterns

 

Here is another Swallowtail card that I made using Parker's Patterns DSP, but inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by Ann Clemmer which I thought was such a cool idea.  The base of my card is Daffodil Delight card stock with the a layer of Marina Mist run through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder #129378.  The Swallowtail stamp was stamped with Stazon Jet Black ink pad #101406 onto the Parker's Pattern DSP #130121 on page 20 of the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog.  Then I cut it out with Paper Snips and attached it to the front of my card.  The Swallowtail stamp is too large to fit on a regular size A2 card, but it looks as though he is in flight on my card.  I stamped the "For You" from the My Little Valentine stamp set and used the Small Oval Punch #120908 to punch it out and attach with a Dimensional #104430.
