Butterflies And Blossoms!

I love Flourishes stamps and so when my Butterflies And Blossoms set arrived in the mail I couldn't wait to try it out.  I stamped the image twice on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with Brilliance Galaxy Gold, painted them with Twinkling H20's Cherry Sorbet and Olive Vine, and cut them out.

The second set of flowers and the leaves on the first cut-out were turned over on a Pergamano mat and a stylus was applied to give them dimension.

I folded a piece of 8.5X11 white cardstock in half, width wise, and then ran it through the Cuttlebug with the fold just inside the top part of the largest Spellbinders Curved Rectangles die (so it would not cut the folded part).  I ran it through a second time to emboss it around the edge.   The same die was used to trace the inside of the same die on a piece of Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden DP.  I trimmed around it and taped it to the front of the card.

I ran a remnant piece of Solar White cardstock through the Cuttlebug using a Spellbinders Lattice Rectangle and then again to emboss it.  The sentiment from Impression Obsession's True Blue Friend. was stamped to the right of the die cut using Memento Bamboo Green.

I mounted the first image on the left with 1/8" 3D pop dots.  Each of the flowers was trimmed and embossed with a stylus on the Pergamano mat.  They were mounted using 1/16" pop dots with glue dots used in the center of the flowers.  The centers of the flowers are Glossy Accents with yellow clear micro beads.

The ribbon is form Michaels and was wrapped around the top of the card and a knot tied.

The butterfly was trimmed and painted with the same Twinks.  It was mounted with a clear glue strip in the middle and 1/8" 3D pop dots under the wings.  A little yellow glitter glue was added to the dots on the wings and 3mm pearl stickers were mounted with Glossy Accents down the middle.

Have a great weekend and stay cool.  Very hot in NC right now.  That is all for tonight you all!!  Thanks for stopping by to look and say hi!
