To Color or Not To Color....

Stampin’ Up! has introduced a new product collection called Butterfly Bouquet and the butterflies are just beautiful.

Today I played with some of these products to make some simple cards. I made one card in black and white and a second with some color. Which do you like better?

The butterflies in this stamp set are all grouped together in one large stamp and there is a die that cuts them all out in one shot.

Tips & Instructions

  • Basic Black Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • True Love Designer Series Paper 5 1/4 x 4

  • Basic White Layer - 4 3/4 x 3 1/2, stamp sentiment in bottom corner using Black Memento Ink. I used the sentiment from the Snailed It Stamp Set.

  • Basic White Cardstock - 6 x 5, stamp butterfly grouping with Black Memento Ink and cut with coordinating dies. I used the Stamparatus and stamped twice to get a dark image.

  • Adhere 3 butterflies to Basic White Layer and adhere layer using Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to fit layer.

  • Add Rhinestone to each butterfly.

Follow the same steps as above but color the butterflies.

  • I used Stampin Blends (Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light Mint Macaron, Light Bermuda Bay, Light So Saffron, Light Pumpkin Pie).

  • Add some Wink Of Stella to the butterflies.
