#CI126 butterfly flight hot foil bundle

#CI126 butterfly flight hot foil bundle

I am always looking for inspiration – and Colour Inkspiration #126 offered a lovely color combination of Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia, and Blackberry Bliss. So this card was born of that color challenge.

Measurements:
BASE: Blackberry Bliss CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 1″ x 4″
Soft Sea Foam CS: scraps for dies
Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for the
sentiment piece

Using the Hot Foil system, I foiled the Butterfly Flight hot foil dies in Silver Opal Foil.
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Rustic Check 3D embossing folder.

Adhere to the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Die cut the small butterflies out of the 1″ x 4″ Blackberry Bliss CS layer. Adhere to the bottom of the embossed layer.

Color the foiled butterflies in Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Pop up the two larger butterflies. Adhere the Soft Sea Foam CS dies and the Blackberry Bliss CS small butterflies around the card.

Stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink from the All A Flutter stamp set on a Basic White CS scrap. Blend the edges and cut a banner edge. Pop up the sentiment piece in between the butterflies.

Add three Adhesive-Backed Metallic gems around the sentiment piece.

Color challenges are full of inspiration – try finding some inspiration of your own – one stamp at a time!

This month’s Demonstrator Swap featured new products!

The first Demonstrator swap card comes from my upline Denise W. and features the Velvet Meadow suite of products. The Designer Series Specialty paper is flocked with velvety soft features on the paper for an extrasensory “feel” of softness to your card – it is super cool.
The sentiment die is cut from the Velveteen Assortment papers which come in three colors: Bubble Bath, Peaceful Pine and White.

The second swap sample is from Lori V and features the Relaxing Waterside bundle and the Everyday Arches dies in hues of Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Gray Granite, Old Olive and Pecan Pie!
Marie W’s swap card uses the Bloom Boutique suite of products and the sentiment focal piece comes from the Phrases and Frames bundle of products in tones of Golden Glow!
My next swap sample comes from new stamper Deb A. and uses the Caring Animals stamp set and the everyday Arches dies on the beautiful Moonlit Flora DSP. Great color combo on this card.
Andrea U’s swap card also uses the Relaxing Waterside bundle with In Colors of Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow and Crisp Cantaloupe.
Ginger S’s swap card features the Valley in Bloom suite of products for this gorgeous split front fun fold card. The DSP is the Valley in Bloom and the center piece features the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder and the lily of the Valley dies.
Kathy D. stamped on her swap envelope as well as her lovely swap card featuring the Fragrant Layers bundle in hues of Lemon Lolly and Balmy blue with Silver foil accents. Her sentiment is from the Online Exclusives Sweet Words and Labels.
Carol S’s swap card features two contrasting In Colors that look great together – Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine and truthfully this is one of the reasons I love swapping together – I would have never thought to combine these two colors – but they look amazing!

She used the Everyday Arches dies and the All A Flutter Punch Bundle! Beautiful card!

The last May swap I received is this gorgeous retirement card from Jan S. using the Scenic Coast suite of products including the Sunset Shimmer Vellum on the left-hand side of this book bind fun fold card! LOVE THIS CARD!
Hope these inspired you as much as they did me!
