Hello friends and happy Tuesday! Welcome back to another post with Design Team member Crystal Komara. Today I have gotten a little extra creative and turned the new Block Print Passion Fruit Flower dies into butterflies. It sort of happened by serendipity – or a fortunate accident, but I’m not mad!
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 110 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. This is my go-to cardstock for all my card bases because it is nice and sturdy. First, to create the background I cut a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of lilac purple paper and adhered it directly to the white card base.
Using Plate B of the Flora Plate Layer Set, I cut a piece of white cardstock and adhered this directly over the lilac purple cardstock to create visual interest.
Now for the flower/butterflies: Using the Block Print Passion Fruit Flower dies, I create flowers from various colors of purple cardstock (with green stamens. I create a total of four flours and then I accidentally dropped two of them on the flower and they kind of fell into a butterfly shape and I thought hmmmm. . . . if I cut off the stems and glue them together, they DO look like butterflies, so I went with it!
I adhered two of the flowers together to create a butterfly and then I added a second set to the front of the card.
Lastly I added a tab foil sentiment from Memory Box Company (a sister company of Birch Press Design) and voila – a butterfly card made from flowers!
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
