I am trying to play with some of the fun stuff from
the annual catalog instead of just the holiday stuff from the July – December Mini. So today I decided to revisit the Brilliant
Wings Dies. My intent was to make a
simple card using a few basic items and a single die set that could be adapted
to any occasion by simply adding a sentiment when you need the card (thus being
sure you have an appropriate card when you need one quick).
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Basic Black cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. The second layer
is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ¼ x 4” and embossed using the Painted Textures
3D Embossing Folder. Next I took a piece
of Basic White cardstock that measured 2 ¼ x 5 ¼” and I colored it using my
Blending Brushes and Blushing Bride and Balmy Blue ink. I used a gentle touch (you can always add
more but once it is on it is on to stay).
When I achieved the look, I was going for I used the die that looks like
little dots to cut away three spots one in the middle on the left and one at
the top and bottom of the right. I then added
this to a piece of Basic Black cardstock that measured 2 ½ x 5 ¼”. I then mounted this onto the center of my
white layer.
To create my butterflies, I took some scrap Basic
White cardstock and using the Blending Brushes I added Blushing Bride and Balmy
Blue ink. I then used the dies to cut
four of the butterflies. Three were
added to the front of the card and the fourth was added to the bottom right of
the 4 x 5 ¼” Basic White cardstock insert on the inside.
Now I have a card that I can simply stamp a message on
the inside, write my own or even add a layer with a sentiment to the front as I
need it. I hope you enjoy this card I
certainly enjoyed making it. As always you
can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net
