I made this card using lots of snippets and the colours from the Butterfly Challenge.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics', My Favorite Things 'Fishtail Flags' , Lawn Fawn 'Happy Birthday Border' and Creative Expressions ''Finishing Touches - Dainty Butterflies' dies
Crafts-Too 'Dandilion Time' embossing folder
Snippets of dark green, dusky pink, daffodil and damson textured card and white matt card (one piece of white card isn't shown in the photo as it was a last minute decision to emboss the background)
I embossed a piece of white matt card with the 'Dandilion Time' embossing folder, trimmed around the edge and attached it to the front of the card blank. I die cut the three circles from the dark green, dusty pink and daffodil textured card using the stitched die. These were layered and then cut in half. I die cut the fishtail flag from a snippet of white card - cutting the first half and then moving the die to the other end of the flag so I could get a 'V' in both ends. I die cut the sentiment from dark green textured card and attached it across the centre of the flag. I placed the half circles onto the upper part of the card front - leaving a small gap between the two pieces so the sentiment banner wouldn't cover too much of the inner circle. To ensure the banner lay flat across the card I trimmed another snippet of white card and inserted it in to the gap between the circles before attaching the banner across the centre. To finish I die cut two small butterflies from the damson card and attached them above and below the sentiment banner.
