Sketched Butterflies and Lifetime of Love Dies!

 

SU! has had butterfly stamps/dies/punches for a long time and I haven’t bought any in a while. The new Sketched Butterflies I loved from minute one. Love the sentiments and the different sizes of the butterflies.

I stamped all three with Versamark on Thick Basic White. I embossed with copper embossing powder. Die cut and then colored with Flirty Flamingo, Boho Blue and Pebbled Path Blends. They were put on Dimensionals.

I die cut the flower frame from the Lifetime of Love dies with Pebbled Path cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set. I stamped with Versamark, embossed with copper embossing powder and die cut using the Nested Essentials dies.

The background kind of came on accident. I had tried a technique with the Layered Florals embossing folder and it didn’t go well. So, I flipped the paper over and colored with Flirty Flamingo and a Blending Brush. That’s why the flowers are de-bossed.

I colored 3 of the Iridescent Pearls with the Boho Blue Blends and added those to the card.

A Cross with a Crown- He is Risen!

I try to make a card each Easter with a cross. I made one last year you can see it here.

I decided I wanted to make one similar, but I wanted Jesus’s crown on it.

I used the two smallest dies of Deckled Circles to make the base of the crown- with Early Espresso. For the thorn, I used dies from Lifetime of Love with Gold Foil. My husband thought it was perfect!

The cross is Crumb Cake embossed with Timber 3D embossing folder (all measurements below).

I wanted there to be a hill or dirt at the bottom. Seaside Bay dies have a die that works! I used Early Espresso.

For the background, I used Basic White and colored lightly with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink. I embossed with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. I then used my scissors along the edges to make them a little distressed.

“He is Risen” is from the Easter Lilies stamp set. I stamped with Versamark on Basic White and embossed with gold powder. I then die cut with the smallest rectangle from the Everyday Detail dies.
