Catching Butterflies

Hey everyone! I'm back and today I'm sharing with you one of my older cards but it's still one of my favorites. I made for the Card Making Tutorials, Support & Inspiration 2nd Birthday Challenge. Here's the link if you would like to check out the group -https://www.facebook.com/groups/2080099255555175.

 For the challenge I had to use the butterfly curl digital stamp from Sheepski Designs. Here's the link just in case you want to check it out -

So I started the card by sizing the butterfly and girl digital stamps. Once printed I  coloured them in and cut them all out. I then set them aside and chose a 8x8 inch card blank. Next I cut out a piece of light blue card the same size as the card blank. Using doubled sided tape I secured

it to my card blank.

Next I measured a piece of orange card 1cm squared smaller than the light blue card and cut it out. I found this lovely forest backing paper and cut it 1cm smaller squared than the orange card. I then stuck the orange matting on to my light blue card and the forest backing paper on to the orange matting both with double sided tape.

I decided to use more double sided tape to secure my girl digital stamp on to the bottom of my card. The next decision was how to place the butterflies so I played around with where to put them. Once happy with how they looked I used glue dots to stick them down. The last part of my card was to add a sentiment. 

I wanted it to blend in the little scene I had made on my card so I decided to print happy birthday in a banner shape. Then I printed a little aeroplane and cut both the plane and sentiment out. I secured the plane in to the top left corner with doubled sided tape. Then I secured the sentiment behind the aeroplane and joined them both with a black line to make it look like the aeroplane is pulling a banner. That's it! I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for looking!
