Peeking Butterflies Card for Scrapbookcom

Hello cardmakers. Today I've got another card created for Scrapbook.com featuring their new A2 size cardstock packs. They sold out a few weeks ago and are now back in stock. It's a hot item so grab some before they sell out again! There's 5 different packs you can purchase separately, or grab the bundle. It comes in Glimmer, Classic, Heavyweight, Swiss Dot and Canvas. Scroll down for details on my Peeking Butterflies Card!

The cardstock packs I'm creating with today are Glimmer and Swiss Dot.

I started by die cutting lots of butterflies from the Cottage die set. Some will serve as the backing for the top layer of butterflies. I lightly tacked them in the center and also scored the top butterflies in the center so the wings would be lifted.

I wanted to add some Pops of Color in Soft Lavender on top of those tiny holes cut out on the butterfly wings. To keep my liquid embellishment from seeping through, I simply placed thin strips of 1/4" mint tape on the back side of the wings, as pictured below.

Now here's a really cool trick.  I applied my Pops of Color at the end, after my card was completely assembled and here's why. To get your liquid embellishment to flatten and look like enamel dots, just slap your card against the top of your desk or whatever surface you are creating on. Don't be too aggressive, haha, just give it a little slap. It will flatten those liquid dots right out. Cool, huh? You can see the before and after below.

Now, the frame that I die cut using white cardstock is the A2 Stitched Scallop Block Frame. I simply punched out all 6 center pieces and backed my frame with some pretty plaid paper from the Market Bloom paper pad.

Let me also mention, to get my butterflies to look like they pop out, I pulled each butterfly through the window frame, lightly tacked it to the backside of my scalloped die cut frame, then trimmed off the excess part of the wing on the back side. I did this before adhering the plaid paper behind it.

Lastly, I used a really great sentiment from the Woodland Enchanted Forest Stamp/Die set. I wanted a longer sentiment that I could break up and spread out across my card, so I used my stamp positioner and used the masking technique to stamp, and then heat emboss, one line at a time. I did this on the textured Glimmer cardstock. I love how it looks and it's such a lovely quote!

Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like more information on any of the products that I used today, or wish to add some of these absolutely fabulous products to your own craft space, simply tap any of the affiliate links I've provided below.
