The make
I absolutely love the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and combined with a new favourite of mine, Elements of Text, I knew I wanted to create a card with lots of texture.
I started by deciding on the layers and how I would use the colours. The Calypso Coral layer has been stamped around the edge, in the same colour, using stamps from Elements of Text. The Pretty Peacock layer has been embossed using Exposed Brick. On the white Deckled rectangle, I have stamped some text and splatters in Old Olive (stamped off) then added the little butterflies in Calypso Coral.
The large butterfly has been stamped in Pretty Peacock then, before die cutting, I stamped some text and splatters in Calypso Coral (stamped off) and used a blending brush to add a little more Calypso Coral.
The sentiment has been stamped in Old Olive and the cut using a Deckled Rectangle die, I needed to reposition the die and pass it through again to cut the size I needed. Both the sentiment and the larger white piece have been lightly coloured around the edge using a blending brush.
Lastly I added a couple of Calypso Coral coloured dots.
