Butterfly Wings


Hello everyone!
Can you imagine what you can do with butterfly wings? Me neither - at least not until yesterday!


Twofer's new challenge is about butterflies. 
You can use them as such or think of something completely different.


 I chose the latter and only used the wings!




The first card is a friendship card. 
To make the flowers I used the dies from Scrap Plaisir, you can see the set below. 
I colored the background with light blue watercolor. After drying I stamped stems, leaves (Scrap Plaisir) and sentiment (Stampin'Up). I colored the leaves with green Felt-tip pen and water.
Then I die cut a couple of butterfly wings for the flowers and colored them with pink Felt-tip pen and water. I pasted them on white paper, fussy cut it and glued it to the stems.
Finally I added three pearl pen dots near the sentiment and a faux stitching at the edges.




This card was in my head before I made the one with the flowers - hence the choice of butterfly wings - the only ones who allowed me to make a Christmas tree! 
I die cut the pair of wings twice from gold holographic adhesive paper and assembled them into a Christmas tree.
I stamped the Christmas word cloud in turquoise blue on a piece of white paper and stuck it, as well as the Christmas tree on the embossed sheet. To finish, I glued the panel on a turquoise card.



                                 

This is the set of butterfly wings of whitch I used the couple that you see on the closer view.



Have a Happy Day!

  1. Clever, clever you, Rosi! These unconventional designs are both sensational! I love your side-view butterfly die used as both pretty pink flowers and as a holographic Christmas tree! You have given us so much inspiration for stretching our dies!! Both of your card designs completely fit the Time Out and color challenges, too! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #5!! Hugs, Darnell

  7. What a clever idea! Your turquoise word panel is so pretty, I love the shade you've used. I always love white embossed cards, yet never think to make one myself! Thanks for joining in at the 52CCT.

  10. These are absolutely fabulous, Rosi! How ingenious to use butterfly wings for both flowers, and a Christmas tree?!! They look fantastic. Such a pretty CAS flower card in Springtime colors, and I love the snowy background for your 'tree' card. Two great cards. Thank you so much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge. Bev
