Butterflies Everywhere--Butterfly Coterie Collage Stencil and Butterfly Coterie Collage Die Together by Anne Thompson

Butterflies are flitting everywhere on today's card where I used the Butterfly Coterie Collage Stencil 88617 for the background butterflies and the Butterfly Coterie Collage die butterflies on top of the stenciled ones to create a card suitable for any occasion.

materials used

white notecard and envelope
white cardstock
coral plaid papers from MADRAS PLAID CORAL AND GREEN PP1013
BUTTERFLY COTERIE COLLAGE STENCIL 88617
BUTTERFLY COTERIE COLLAGE die 94642
VersaFine Clair Tulip Red ink; fingertip dauber
clear FAIRY DROPS DRP101

to make this card

start with a piece of white cardstock and attach the Butterfly Coterie Collage Stencil on top with washi tape
use fingertip dauber to add VersaFine Clair Tulip Red ink over the stencil

trim the stenciled panel 3 1/4 X 4 1/2
die cut the Butterfly Coterie Collage die using one of the coral plaid papers
add the die cut butterflies on top of the stenciled ones (I used glue dots on the bottom wing portions so I could bend the upper wing part up a bit)
using the dauber add more smudgy ink around the edges of the panel and then use the ink directly from the pad around the outer edge
add clear Fairy Drops to the centers of the wings

cut a piece of another coral plaid paper 4 X 5 1/4 and add it to the front of the notecard
attach the butterfly panel to the front of the notecard

This card is appropriate for any number of occasions, so I will wait to add an appropriate sentiment when I know where and when it is going out. I'm also going to try this design with in other color combinations and with floral background papers. So many possibilities!

Happy Crafting!
