Shabby Butterfly Fall Card

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! Today I am sharing a card I made with some beautiful Cottage Cutz dies. Take a look at what I created.

A top folding card with a gorgeous Butterfly front and center! The butterfly is the Folk Art Butterfly Die.

I started by taking a plain white piece of cardstock and spritzing some of my blue ink spray onto my cardstock mat.

I then took some gold paint and swashed it over my blue spritzing. I then edged the paper with my blue ink. You will see that on the next photo.

I then added some of my die cuts at the top and the bottom. The deer horns are from the Deer Floral Spray.

Here is a closer look at my beautiful butterfly. I started with it as plain white cardstock. I then added some of the same gold glitter paint as a base. I then added some brown inking to the edges. I used my blue markers for some of the decorative pieces. I used brown marker for the leaf motiffs and then dotted the wings with my brown glitter. I added some foam underneath to give it some lift.

Here is a closer look at the pretty flowers and pinecones. I added those to the center of the bottom spray.

Here's a closer look at the top spray. I added a bow with some of the sweet little flowers. I used my nuvo drops for the center of the bow. I added the finished piece to my cardstock base and done!

Here is one last look at my finished card. I think it turned out so pretty. It doesn't have a sentiment on it yet as I haven't decided if I am going to use this as a thinking of you or a birthday card.

Season's Greetings

Hello everyone,

Can you believe it is almost the end of November!  Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving?  Do you have any special plans?  My plans are to spend the holiday with my family and eat plenty of good food!  I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your family and friends!

It's Donna here and I am back again featuring some of the new release stamps by Peachy Keen Stamps.  The Peachy Keen Stamps work perfectly with the CottageCutz Christmas ornament dies. CottageCutz has several different shape ornament dies in the store, be sure to go over and check them out!  Did you know Peachy Keen stamps all have a tint of pink symbolizing the "Peach"?  They have been around since 2003 featuring their whimpsical face stamps.  They are just the cutest ever and I have really enjoyed working with them.  

 I am using the Candy Cane 1 7/8th Face Set and the Candy Cane 1 1/8th Face Set.  Here is my card:

Closer look at the card.

Here is how I put my card together:

• The card is an A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
• The red and white stripe design paper is the same size as the base of the card, 
• The red solid piece is cut from the CottageCutz Double Stitched Rectangle Set,
• I cut all the elements that I wanted to put on my card:

• I cut the small and medium nested ornaments bulb,
• I then used my Misti to stamp on the faces on the bulb ornaments,
• I added all the elements to my card,
• I finished it off by adding the red bling to give the bulbs some dimentsion.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!
