Butterflies & Blossoms - Pro 31 Designs - JustRite Papercraft - Spellbinders

Hello blogging friends!  Today, I have a pretty butterflies and blossoms card to share with you. 

 

 

Yesterday was Administrative Professionals Day and I made this card for my husband's secretary.  She likes to garden to I thought the butterflies and flowers would be perfect.

 

I started by stamping the image with Rich Cocoa ink on to Simply Smooth White cardstock from Discount Cardstock.  The image is from the CR-02245 Botanical Butterflies stamp set from JustRite Papercraft.  I colored the butterfly using Prismacolor Colored Pencils.  

I continued to color the background on the image with more Prismacolor Colored Pencils. 

To create the background I used a few colors of Distress Inks. First I covered the entire image with Old Paper and then added some Milled Lavender.  Next I add just little touches of Faded Jeans and then I added Dusty Concord around the label at the top of the image.  I very lightly misted the stamp with water and then stamped the image on to  Simply Smooth White cardstock.  I used the Grand Calibur and LF-168 Grand Large Labels to cut/emboss the label shape and then I edged it with Rich Cocoa ink.

To create the little flower cluster I used a Circle Pearl Sprays, Small Blue Porcelain Roses and Porcelain Calla Lily from Pro 31 Designs.  **Be sure to check out the Exciting News about Pro 31 Designs at the bottom of this post!! Next I applied Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and Diamond Clear Glitter from The Rubber Cafe'  to all of the flowers.  

 

I also added some Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and Diamond Clear Glitter from The Rubber Cafe'  to the wings of the butterfly for a little added sparkle.

 

Here is a close up of the butterfly image.  I used the Grand Calibur, S4-114 Standard Circles Large and S5-064 Moroccan Accents to cut/emboss the die cut shapes.  Then I used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to layer and add dimension to the die cuts.

Here is a close up of the flower cluster.  I also added a seam binding bow.  I used Distress Inks to hand dye the seam binding bow.

 

Here is a close up of the Pink Rose and Sequins Trim from Pro 31 Designs.  This trim is so gorgeous and sparkly I love it!!  Rose and Sequins Trim is also available in blue.
