Cards - Charity - Glitter Butterflies

I came across glitter butterfly stickers at the thrift store and decided that they would make great cards for IWin.

There was a variety to sizes so the smaller ones would be just right for A2 cards.

I chose Stampin Up Painted Blooms designer paper. I chose 4 colors of card base - Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose, Island Indigo and Blackberry Bliss.

For this card I pressed my butterfly onto a piece of Not Quite Navy card stock then cut the oval with my Creative Memories cutters.

I added an innie outie bow in Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon, and a Modern Label punchie greeting in pink.

This card features a large butterfly stuck to a white 110lb card stock. 

I chose a Regal Rose A2 card base and I added squiggles around the outer edge of the card and the oval. 

The butterfly was cut the same process as described above.

A SU Word Window punchie greeting mounted with 3D foam tape. 

The A2 card base for this card is Stampin Up Blackberry Bliss.  

I cut a piece of the same designer paper paying attention to the color of the flowers so I had some purple ones showing.

I cut the butterfly the same way on Not Quite Navy card stock.  I added stitching around the edge with a white pigment marker.

I added a purple mini brad on the head of the butterfly to repeat the color.

The oval was mounted with 3D tape and the SU Small Oval punchie greeting as well.

It's hard to say if I like the white or colored bases for the butterflies best.

Here it was white based again cut the same way. The CM cutters are wonderful because you can see your layer and then choose from 3 different widths of borders.

A stitched border created with a pencil crayon was a great match.

I added a piece Island Indigo satin ribbon on the butterfly oval and a layered Modern Label punchie with a Word Window for the greeting.

Each card has a white quarter sheet insert.
