Pair Acetate Botanicals + Colorful Butterflies for a Gorgeous Result: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! We’re delighted to welcome back special guest Caly Person to our blog today with a gorgeous card using tons of components from our brand new March 2024 card kit! Read on and be sure to watch the video to learn more– enjoy!
Hello there! I have a card today using the Simon Says Stamp March 2024 Card Kit! There are so many goodies in this card kit and I use a little bit of almost everything to create a card with lots of texture and dimension.
To start, the butterfly has acetate wings that “flutter” or “float” because they stick up and are separate from the colored base. I did this by embossing the Mix and Match Butterflies image over heat-resistant acetate. I die-cut the butterfly wings again with white cardstock and ink-blended it with Amethyst and Iris ink.
WATCH THE VIDEO:
On a white panel, I added a soft layer of Amethyst ink using a Background Blending Brush and then embossed the panel with the Dibble Tile Embossing Folder. I distressed the panel using the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser tool and added Pansy ink to further distress and add color to the edges.
I used my sewing machine to adhere the Tim Holtz Transparent Things 2 sheet to the embossed background. I just added a few zig-zags to the upper right and bottom left hand corners. I also used the sewing machine to sew the butterfly together down its body.
I attached the butterfly to the card panel and finished with an embossed sentiment and embellished the card with the new Pawsitively Dazzling Gems from Simon Says Stamp in Cool Tones (also a part of the kit).
Here’s a look at a similar card I made for this kit’s release. I used a pink color scheme and instead of using a large butterfly, I added more Transparent Things 2 elements and hearts from the Mix and Match Butterflies set.
I hope you enjoyed these projects using the Simon Says Stamp March 2024 Card Kit! Thanks so much for stopping by! ~Caly
