Love is like a Butterfly...

Front view

Today is my first post as a Design Team member for The Cutting Cafe and I am so excited to share my creation with you.  I used the Butterfly Shaped Card cutting file and a sentiment from the Social Butterfly printable stamp set.


My color palette is pink, white and black, which I just love together.

I started with a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" pink cardstock base.  I cut the butterfly out three times:  white cardstock, pink pattern paper and vellum.  I sponged baby pink around the edges of the white butterfly and added black ink doodle lines around all 3 butterflies.  I layered these three butterflies together, white, pink pattern paper and vellum on top.  I cut a black cardstock body, wrapped black/white bakers twine around the body and added stamens for the antenna.  Adhere the body to the center of the butterfly.

I cut two scallop borders from black cardstock using my Cricut "Just Because" cartridge, page 46 <Apple-s> cut at 5-1/2", adhered to a piece of 2" x 5-1/2" pink pattern paper.


For the sentiment - I trimmed it and made one banner edge with a square punch.  Layer all paper pieces as shown in the photo, working back to front.

My finishing touches include black rhinestones, and baker twine ribbon/bow.




That's it for today, so thank you so much for stopping by my blog and letting me share my card with you.  Enjoy your day.
