Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

Classic butterfly images are given a modern feel with a sketched finish in the Sketched Butterflies Bundle.
 

The stamp of four small butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies Cling Stamp set was stamped randomly on a Lost Lagoon Cardstock layer using Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin' Ink.

The birthday sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped at the bottom of a 2¼" x 3¾" Basic White Cardstock rectangle using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. This panel was layered on to a Petunia Pop Cardstock rectangle, and then layered again onto a Basic Black Cardstock rectangle. This panel was adhered to the stamped Lost Lagoon Cardstock layer using Stampin' Seal.

The largest butterfly image from the Sketched Butterflies set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Ink and die cut using the coordinating die from the Sketched Butterflies Dies. Multipurpose Liquid Glue was added to the centre of the butterfly, behind the body section, and the die cut adhered to the Basic White Cardstock panel. Once the glue had dried, the wings were teased upwards to add dimension. Small Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots were added around the butterfly element as embellishments. The completed panel was adhered to a folded Lost Lagoon card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

And here's the project it inspired:

The Friends for Life Bundle contains die cut elements and coordinating mix-and-match sentiments that are perfect for creating cards for friends. The brush stroke texture of the Meandering Meadows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper gives a different effect from the watercolour patterns in the Full of Life Suite and shows you can swap many of our patterned papers to create alternative combinations.
 

A 1½" wide strip of patterned paper from the Meandering Meadows DSP was adhered to a 1⅝" wide strip of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. The thin outline heart shape was cut from Melon Mambo Cardstock using the die from the Friends for Life Dies, and adhered to the centre of the DSP strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A strip of Adhesive Sheet was added to Melon Mambo Cardstock and the "friend" inner shape was die cut from it using the die from the Friends for Life Dies. The delicate die cut was then adhered to Basic White Cardstock, and the coordinating "friend" outline die used to cut the white card and create the layered die cut element. This was adhered to the centre of the DSP strip over the top of the heart.

The completed layered element was adhered to the centre of a Fresh Freesia folded card base and the width trimmed to match the card base. The "miss you" sentiment from the Friends For Life Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink under the bottom right corner of the central strip.

And here's the project it inspired:

Send wishes of love with this farmhouse floral card, created using products from the Country Woods Suite.
 

A layer of lace patterned paper in Smoky Slate from the Country Lace 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper was adhered to a Night of Navy Cardstock layer. A ⅝" strip of Night of Navy cardstock was adhered across the centre of the DSP panel, and white Baker's Twine (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) wound around the layers multiple times and adhered on the reverse. The completed panel was attached to a Basic White Cardstock folded card base.

The "sending love" sentiment, from the Country Flowers Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped at the bottom of a 2⅜" x 3⅜" Basic White Cardstock rectangle using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. The flower bucket was die cut from Smoky Slate Cardstock using the smallest of the various floral vessel dies from the coordinating Country Flowers Die, stamped with the Flower Market image using Memento Ink, and adhered above the sentiment. The largest foliage die was used with Shaded Spruce Cardstock to create the two leaf die cuts, and the various flower dies used with Pretty in Pink Cardstock to create the floral elements. The foliage and flowers were arranged and adhered over and above the bucket. The completed floral panel was attached to the centre of the card front using Stampin' dimensionals.
