Butterfly Cards |DT - Anshita Talwar

Hello Everybody .

I am back with another blog today which is inspired by the winged wonders of nature- Butterflies

My first card is a Butterfly Shaker Card and the other one is Friends Forever Butterfly Card.

BUTTERFLY SHAKER CARD

For the butterfly shaker card, I have taken a white card base . Then I had cut out 3 panels out of my watercolour sheet . Then using Tubby Craft – checkered stencil , dye ink pads lemon yellow and tangy orange, and blending brushes I made my own pattern paper on one of the panel . Once the pattern paper was ready , I glued it to the base of the card . Then I added mounting tape around the pattern paper forming a rectangular box and added some colourful shaker elements inside the boundary I created with the mounting tape. Then I added the acrylic sheet/ohb sheet on the top to seal the shaker elements. Next I added the white panels on the left and right of the shaker window on the card base.

Then using the stamp set Butterfly love, I stamped up the beautiful butterfly and coloured it using gouache paints . Then I drew a few leaves and coloured them . I added the butterfly and leaves on one side of the shaker box and on the other side I added yellow ribbon.

Then using my dye ink pad- lemon yellow and blending brush , I coloured a strip of paper and using my calligraphy pen I wrote congrats on it. Then i added a few flower embellishments on card around the butterfly and leaves . And my card is ready.

I enjoyed making this card so much that I created this card in all colours and with different sentiments.

FRIENDS FOREVER BUTTERFLY CARD

For the next card I have taken a lemon card base. You can also colour your sheet using the dye ink pad lemon yellow and a blending brush. Then I cut out a panel which measure half the width of the card cover. Then using the stencil Watercolour lines and using the dye ink pads – aqua blue, sapphire blue , lilac purple , lavender violet, lawn green , lemon yellow , tangy orange , light pink and raspberry I created a colourful pattern paper. Using the mounting tape I glued this pattern paper on one side of the card.

Next I stamped up the butterfly from the stamp set Butterfly Love and the ferns from the stamp set Bird Get well soon . I coloured them using Gouache paints. I added the butterflies and the ferns on the card. Then I punched out 2 small butterflies using my metal punch and added them to the card. Next I stamped up the sentiment Friends Forever from the stamp set Best Buddies. And My card is ready .

I hope you are inspired to try your hands on making these easy peasy butterfly cards .

Until i see you next

Happy Crafting

Lots of Love
