Bold Butterfly trio

This was a make n take from one of my teamies.

The background is from a paper stack 

(awesome value, find it on  pages 169 to 171),

in shades of grey, with vellum die cut butterflies (138135)

that show the basic grey card layer underneath.

Short n sweet today!

Have a good week

Inset and Splatter a Butterfly

Hiya

Just popping by to share a recent make....

wanted to share how to texture a background,

and leave a section unembossed.

We used to try this by using a thick shim to mask an area we didn't want to emboss.

Then I saw this tip....just die cut the area, and run the rest through the folder,

then simply replace the die cut shape, unembossed, stamped with a sentiment.

I used brush strokes and ink splats to decorate the area I wanted to cut the butterfly from.

Here's a few variations from my play mates...

and these.....

all mounted white on white

Happy Crafting

Happy Sunday peeps

fluttering by to share a card the lovely Claudia made

she allowed me to take a pic

Bold Butterfly Bloomin' Heart

I did a class showing the versatility of Dies

and the Bloomin' Heart Thinlit Dies are so pretty

Here we cut a Bold Butterfly from the detailed filigree heart

layered it onto a solid Bold Butterfly and stamped a simple greeting

all in a monochrome fashion

The idea was from Kirsteen Gill a very talented lady

I think I might see who's on the swings in the Snippets Playground,

as I've used lots of snippets on all these cards,

and there's a prefect in charge while Miss is away

so you know the saying "while the cat's away" teehee....

I hope you can pop by tomorrow for another die-with-a-twist
