Thank You Butterfly

Thank You Butterfly

We’re half way through Sale-a-Bration 2019, and you are loving the free SAB items this year.  What has been your favourite so far?  Today, I thought we would create a clean and simple project featuring Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) that you can earn free with a $90 purchase in this years SAB catalogue.

This pattern gives you so many options, here are a few ideas

• leave it plain (no colour)
• watercolour
• cut the butterfly’s out
• colour with Stampin’ Blends
• Sponge colour onto the butterfly
• fussy cut them out
• punch them out with the Butterfly Duet punch

For today’s project we’re sponging colour onto our butterfly and then punching them out using the Butterfly Duet Punch.

Supplies:

• Stamps – All Things Thanks
• Ink – Early Espresso Classic Ink
• Paper – Powder Pink, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Botanical Butterfly DSP
• Other – Butterfly Duet Punch, Stampin’ Sponges

• Powder Pink  CS – 8-1/4” x 5-7/8” (21 x 15cm) scored and fold at 4-1/8” (10.5cm) to create a cardbase
• Early Espresso CS – 5-5/8″ x 3-7/8″
• Whisper White CS – 5-1/2″ x 3-3/4″
