Good Morning everyone
After making my last card i had some left over pieces and off cuts so decided to use them up on 2 little cards.
4x5" cream card base. I layered a peace paper onto the base. I then tore a piece of the printed vellum, layered onto a piece of torn cream card by gluing the ends of the vellum behind the cream card so no adhesive on show, then matted onto a different printed paper and then added to the left hand side.
I die cut the 3 lacy layers of the butterflies from the printed vellum and the base layers from more cream card and added to the card with just a dab of pinflair glue gel under their bodies so the wings are free. By adding the cream card behind the patterned vellum it helps keep the colours clean and crisp.
Stamped sentiment in grey to finish.
Card 2
4x4" cream card base. I added 2 of the papers to the base, the peach one on an angle so you can see a bit more of the lovely pattern on the black one. I tore one edge of a piece of vellum and pale peach paper and added to the left edge with another piece of grey paper - using up all the off cuts
I had die cut the hello sunshine die from the middle of the black paper i used for my first layer on the card - a good way to make it go further and no one would know as its completely hidden! I then matted this onto a larger circle die cut from more of the cream card and added to the front with glue gel. Butterfly die cut from vellum matted onto cream to finish.
Items Used:
Kanban paper pad & velum 'Apricot dreams' (very very old!)
Studio light 'just lou' dies - Butterflies
Hello sunshine die (memory box?)
woodware sentiment stamp 'Curly greetings' FRS850
Cream cardstock

Two stunning cards Ginny

Two fab cards, they have a real modern feel to them too.
They are both so beautiful Emma, for me they have a bit of vintage feel, but the expert on this style is Lynn! :)
Love how you doubled the butterflies with that pretty patterned vellum and the cream cardstock. The torn edges add interest and help with to hide the glue. Well done using the black patterned paper for the circle and the base layer, if you hadn’t said it no one would have known! :D
Have a lovely day!
Two fabulous cards Emma with beautiful layering and embellishments
