Say thanks with the new Blue River Butterfly floating over a Butterfly Coterie Collage background. Blue River's detailed design stands out against the background's simple outlines. Hi, Jean here with a mix of classic favorites and a beautiful new butterfly from our 2024 Fuchsia Collection for your summer projects.
Cut Blue River Butterfly from the lavender 6x6 in the Lagoon Solid Core Collection. Cut the wing accents from the violet Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6. Cut the antennae/body from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6.
Spray a blue/purple ink-blended piece of cardstock with a light layer of Imagine's Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz and set it aside to dry. Cut white cardstock with Butterfly Coterie Collage - leave a generous border to diecut the globe. Position the collage over the inked/spritzed background to find the right colors for the butterflies. Cut the white cardstock and the inky background together using the 3-½" wide Nested Globes die. Trim a bit from the edges of the inked background and attach it behind the collage. Trim the bottom with a corner rounding punch.
Round the corners of a white top-folded A2 card. Attach the diecuts - use foam tape for the edge of the Blue River Butterfly's wings. Add a Thank You Foil Greeting White Tab (trim the ends a bit) and blue Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. I like contrasting bold design elements like the butterfly with a small greeting. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Thanks for visiting - have a relaxing weekend, or a great trip if you're traveling!
