Beautiful Butterfly

I have another Butterfly card to share today, this time I have used the Sara Davies Vintage Butterfly collection - this is another one of those cards that didn't turn out quite as I had envisaged!

I used one of the beautiful papers, a torn strip of vellum and the Kaleidoscope Double-sided Die,  The sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion Majestic Butterfly stamp set.

Perfect Papillon

I have another card to share today, I have used my Crafter's Companion Sara Signature Vintage Butterfly collection again, I seem to be using all of the blue toned papers!

I cut the hexagons with my Gemini Stitch Edge Hexagon dies, I inked the edges of them before applying them to the card base using foam pads.  I used the large butterfly again and added a sentiment from Hunkydory, I cut several layers and adhered them together.  To finish my card I added some small die cut hearts.

In Flight

This is another card that I have created using the Sara Signature Vintage Butterfly collection from Crafter's Companion. 

I am trying not to buy anything more from Crafter's Companion, I'm so fed up with their abysmal Customer Service, orders routinely take anything up to ten days and more often than not something in every order will be missing, damaged or incorrect - they do always refund without any quibbles but that's not the point, it is very disappointing.  I resorted to leaving a comment on Sara's Personal Facebook page a couple of weeks back and guess what, all of my orders arrived the next day, they still had incorrect items and items missing though!

 

Anyway, this is the card that I created, I used the 3D Embossing Folder from the collection with one of the papers, I added some gold gilding wax to highlight the embossing and around the edges.  I used the large butterfly again, only two layers this time.  The sentiment is one that I have had in my stash for a while, I think it might have come from a magazine, I cut it out with a die from the Tags and Tickets that are in the collection and added gilding wax around the outside.

Butterfly Dreams

I've had the Sara Signature Vintage Butterfly collection for a while now and decided it is time to get on and use some of it.  These collections always look stunning when they launch them but I often have problems when I come to use them!

I decided to create a shabby chic card so I distressed and inked the edges of some squares and adhered them to another of the papers, also distressed, using foam pads.  I cut all three layers of the large Butterfly and added that to the card along with a stamped sentiment and some small circles that I added 3D Crystal Lacquer to.
