Cardmaking - Fabric Butterflies

I stitched fabric butterflies yesterday.  They were cut from fabric scraps with the SU Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.

For this card, I chose a matching blue banner piece of card stock and adhered the butterfly with double sided tape. It was mounted to a SU Wisteria Wonder A2 card base.

The Modern Label punchie greeting was adhered with 3D foam tape.

I added a wiggly frame with a fine black Sharpie marker.

A white quarter sheet insert.


I chose a SU Summer Sun card base then layered a piece of SU Garden Green card stock trimmed to leave a small border.

I added a piece of watercolor designer paper in similar colors again trimmed to leave a small border.

I adhered the fabric butterfly with double sided tape. Mounted the Modern Label punchie greeting wit 3D foam tape.

I add a fly trail with the fine black Sharpie marker.

White quarter sheet insert.


I chose a Rich Razzleberry card base.

I added a card stock strip of Marina Mist on the left hand side.

The white speckled layer is cut with the Stampin Up Clear Oval Accent Bigz die.  I adhered the label angled on the blue strip.

I adhered the fabric butterfly with d/s tape and the greeting with 3D foam tape.  The accent is Modern Label punchie and Word Window punchie greeting to match the blue strip.

A white quarter sheet insert.


I chose a black A2 card base.

I printed a decorative frame downloaded from The Graphics Fairy and sized to fit on the quarter sheet piece of Creamy Caramel card stock.  Once trimmed I adhered it to the card front in the landscape orientation. 

I adhered the fabric butterfly along the top edge.

The white SU Word Window greeting was much too bright so I mixed a bit watercolor and painted it.  Loving this black pigment ink in the new printer.
