Hello everyone. I have been under the weather lately, so I must admit, my creativity has suffered. As you can see, I kept my birthday card pretty simple and straight forward. You’ve seen many samples already, but it features the beautiful Blue River Butterfly from the 2024 Fuchsia collection.
Started by choosing the pattern paper from the Fuchsia Plaid paper pack. This determined the colors of the butterfly. After die cutting the butterfly from white, dye inks in pink, a purply-fuchsia, yellow and black were used with mini ink blending brushes to color the butterfly.
For the background, the same pink and purply-fuchsia inks were ink blended onto a Bristol panel. Splattered with water and the purple-fuchsia ink, then blot with a paper towel for texture. Assembled the card onto a white card base. Glued the body directly onto the panel and popped up the wings with foam adhesives for dimension. Added the foil greeting black tab and some clear jewels to finish.
And that’s it! Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful day.
