Cardmaking - Butterfly Cards

I made butterfly cards for IWin charity today.

I cut some of my bold watercolor paper with the Stampin Up Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die then I layered a MS Butterfly punchie over it. 

I chose a Brilliant Blue card base and adhered a layer of paste paper in yellows and oranges.  A strip of Botanical Gardens vellumm was adhered on the right hand side.  The butterfly accent was adhered near th bottom right hand corner and the Modern Label punchie greeting was placed higher up on the card.

I placed double sided tape on the back of the vellum hidden by the 2 elements on the front.  

White insert.

Another, Brilliant Blue card base in A2 size with portrait orientation.

I added a piece of blue metallic paper I made years ago. 

I cut a strip of the watercolor paper in the orange tones and placed it just left of center.  It was not long enough so I cut it where the accent was going to be and aligned both ends with the edge of the metallic paper.  I then adhered the butterfly with 3D foam tape and the Modern Label punchie greeting with tape.

Added a white quarter sheet insert.

I chose an SU Only Orange A2 card base to match the brightness of the watercolor butterfly.

I added a layer of SU Botanical Garden vellum to tone it down a bit.  I added a strip of gold decorative paper on the left hand side.

The butterfly accent of 2 butterflies was adhered with 3D foam taper and the greeting had a Modern Label Punchie from the watercolor paper layered to the back of the SU Word Window punchie greeting.

Double sided tape was placed behind the vellum where it would be hidden by the elements on the front.

A white insert was added.

I chose a lilac A2 card base.

I chose some bright orange paste paper to coordinate with the larger watercolor paper butterfly.  To the larger butterfly I added the MS purple butterfly punchie held with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.

I added a scrap strip of the Elegant Eggplant cardstock to match the small butterfly and adhered it to the left of center.

I added the greeting with 3D foam tape which is a SU Modern Label punchie from paste paper and a SU Word Window punchie. 

A white insert was added.
