A duo of gorgeously bright butterfly cards using the stunning Butterfly Wishes stamp and die set free with issue 20 of Die-Cutting Essentials :D I really love this set, as I'm quite partial to using butterflies on my cards :D For one card I used a partial die-cutting technique, and for the other I used some masking to get the stamping to appear behind the butterfly :D For the colouring of both butterflies I used the Nuvo Creative Pens from #tonicstudios, you can get such a lovely blend with these pens :D Especially when combining the Red, Orange and Yellow sets :D
These are both nice clean and simple cards, and I often struggle with these because I keep wanting to add so many things, but with this gorgeous butterfly stamp, you don't really need to add much else other than a sentiment and some colour :D I think either of these designs would make fabulous note card sets where you could do a rainbow of different colours! (I MUST remember this!) And you could even stamp the 'a note to say...' and then have the other part of the sentiment separately so the recipient could then add that on for whatever card they need :D I hope you liked these really simple cards :D
