Today is Review Preview day over on the ATS blog (every Friday is RP day and a different new set is slated for previews each week) and today's set is my new Butterfly set.
I actually got some time to play along and this is what I made:
Aren't the colors SO pretty???
I got a sei Mimosa 12x12 patterned paper pad at Michaels (on SALE of course!) a couple of months ago and this is the first chance I've had to cut into it.
I gotta say while I LOVE the colors and the patterns of the papers in the pack - a lot of the patterns are scaled way too large for cardmakers. As in if you cut them down to use on a card you'll lose most of the pattern/detail etc. I still love it tho - and some patterns (like the one I used here) have glitter while others are a bit metallic and whatnot - VERY pretty!!
Anywho - I made these 4 cards and kept the layout and whatnot simple.
The butterfly itself I had some fun with (I did a how-to video on that so I will hopefully get that up soon to share with y'all) using vellum and glitter and different colors of ink.
The pink cardstock is SU!'s new Melon Mambo color - LOVE LOVE LOVE this color!! I diecut it with my Spellbinders Mega Curved Rectangle die then stamped and embossed the Thank You with white embossing powder.
On the inside of each card I added a strip along the bottom of the same paper used on the front, and another stamped butterfly.
This one I just stamped with white pigment ink onto one of the other patterned papers in the Mimosa pack, heat set it to dry it faster then cut it out and adhered it to the card.
