Card Making - Donation - IWin

I made some butterfly cards today.  These cards will be donated to IWin who assist women in distress.

I started by printing a small butterfly graphic from Pixabay onto 110lb card stock. 

I watercolored the image with Stmampin Up Watercolor Wonder crayons.  The background is a toned down color with blue and purple in it.  The butterfly is Marina Mist and branch Old Olive.  

Once it was dry and back to being flat, I adhered it to a teal A2 card base. 

I added a white quarter sheet insert.

This card base is Tempting Turquoise with a coordinated designer paper layer on the front.  It is cut 4"x5.25 inches.  It was adhered to the card front.

I cut the butterfly from watercolor designer paper with the Serendipity Butterfly die.  I cut another from Daffodil Delight card stock and cut it in half, trimmed a few bits and layered it behind the diecut offsetting to see the yellow layer.  I added the body and antennea wit a black marker.

The greeting is the same yellow card stock punched with the Modern Label and topped with a Word Window punchie greeting in white.

I added a flight trail with the black marker. White quarter sheet insert.

The butterfly was cut with the Serendipity Floral Butterfly die both layers.  The floral and the solid back.

The floral one is a but of a pain to remove from the die and not tear it.  Then gluing is another challenge.  It looks great when glued down.

I chose a blue card base to match the floral layer. I chose some vellum from the Stampin Up Botanical Gardens pack.  Cut it to leave a small border. I adhered the greeting and the butterfly to the front then could place double sided tape to the back to it would not show to the front.

The greeting was mounted with 3D foam tape.

A white quarter sheet insert was added.

The butterfly was cut with the Serendipty Stamps Floral Butterfly solid die from floral designer paper.

I chose an orange A2 card base to which I adhered a kraft and gold dot designer card stock. 

I then added a teal card stock strip on the left hand side.

I added a kraft body to the butterfly and glued it down to the card front and added antennae and flight path with a black marker.

I colored the Modern Label punchie greeting with a bit of watercolor to tone down the white.   It is adhered with 3D foam tape. A white quarter sheet insert.

The bright colors in this card.  I chose a Pacific Point A2 card base.

I layered a piece of green DSP from the Oh So Ombre DSP Pack cut to leave a small border.

The butterfly has both of those colors in the paster paper.  Cut with the Serendipity Floral Butterfly solid die.  

I added the body, antennae and flight path with a black marker.

I added white quarter sheet insert.

This A2 card is placed in the wide orientation.

The card matches well with the butterfly in a blue green card base.

The butterfly was cut from commercial decorative paper. Black marker to add antennae and body lines.

I punched a scalloped and smooth oval with Stampin Up punches.

Stamped the greeting with a small SU Stamp.

A quarter sheet insert added.

An A2 Marina Mist card base.

A layer of vellum from the Botanical Garden pack.  Cut to size to leave a small border.

A butterfly cut with the Serendipity Stamps Floral Butterfly solid die from watercolor paper.

Adhered the Modern Label Greeting and the butterfly to the vellum.  Then placed double sided tape to back where the elements would hide it.  Adhered to the card front.

I added the antennea and flight path with black marker.

A white quarter sheet insert.  Press overnight and these will be ready to go.
