Spring Butterflies

Hi Everyone.  Happy Wednesday night.  Another clean and simple card for you tonight.  I took the idea of using a shape on a shape from the clean and simple challenge at splitcoast again tonight.....  I've been wanting to do a Beautiful Wings embosslit CAS card for a while.... so this was perfect.  I'm loving these little butterflies.  BTW. I have hotlinked the Beautiful Wings for you, so that you can go straight to the SU website and take a look at it there!

I used Whisper White card stock for the card base and Shades of Spring DSP for the butterflies.  I love this DSP... but ....mmm... I think I love the Lovely Bundles even more :-)

 

I know you can't see that well, but I did score two lines above the sentiment to create a break between the butterflies and the sentiment.

To meet the "shape on a shape" requirement for the challenge, I cut a circle (also in the same DSP) under the larger butterfly and mounted the big purple butterfly with mini glue dots.

For the other butterflies, I stuck down one side of the wing with snail, and left the other unglued, to give the effect of flight.

I love the fact that the Butterfly Wings embosslit gives texture to the butterflies to add interest, especially on a clean and simple card.  I ran the embosslit - with two layers of paper - through my Big Shot.

The sentiment "you raise kindness to an art" is from Vintage Vogue (118598 clear and 117690 wood) and I stamped that in Orchid Opulence.

I used the 3/4" circle punch for the circle underneath the larger butterfly.

So... I hope you like your second night of clean and simple - and quick to create cards. 

Tonight... I'm off to play with my new "Awash with Flowers" set, which is the preview from the upcoming IB&C.  There's also a special for April on this set set.  I'm hoping to get some time in my studio tonight to create a couple of samples for you... otherwise I will do it this weekend.  If you haven't seen this set, have a word with your demonstrator about it.  I think it's fabulously pretty.. now ..... the test is can I do something with it :-)

Spring is almost taking a hold... and I say almost....  as Cherie noted in her comment today..... it was dull and gloomy.  However, Lou did notice a pair of nutchatches making mating moves in our front garden.... it's still a little cold.. but hey.. they must have felt that warmer weather was around the corner!

Have a fabulous evening my stamping friends.  As always, thank you for your visit and your support.

Hugs

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it Jaydee! I will certainly be casing this one during my playtime this weekend.
Spring is certainly on it's way (I heard a Robin on Tuesday and it was thundering this morning), but with this card it's already spring on you blog. Thank you so much for sharing your talent my friend!

Beautiful--as always. I like it that you are not afraid to leave the "empty" spaces-there really is much to be said for CAS cards!
I love the details of the fussy ones too, but these CAS are so attractive!

Oh this is beautiful! I love how simple yet colorful it is. I think I need to start saving for a big shot! I love how one wing is out as though in flight...so creative! I love that I found your blog.

This is a really beautiful card. Love the colours too. Here you can feel just a slight coolness in the air at night - but it is still hot in the day. I like the changes of season - the colours of autumn and the freshness of spring.
