De tous les billets doux, devenus papillons


Sharing a CAS card featuring the lovely Butterfly Gown stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.


I decided to go with a stencil rather than stamp as my main feature on this card so I could play along at Mod Squad.  I used Distress Inks and the smallest of the Life Changing Blender Brushes so I could ink the stencil in different colours.  I wasn’t game to outline the butterflies completely so limited myself just to adding in their bodies with some Enamel Accents.

My colour choice is inspired by the cookies at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie.  The cookie inspiration was also why I added the green accents in Enamel Accents, to give a bit of height and texture to imitate icing, and why I chose the Ornate Trims and embossed them for my two accent lines.

I’ve got those accent lines as part of my layout thanks to the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I’ve followed.  My image was too big for the rectangular element so I used mats to create it topping the three coloured ones with a dry embossed white panel.  I then fussy cut my stencil girl and placed her over the top.

This card is actually going out to a friend for her birthday but I thought adding a sentiment would ruin the simplicity and elegance of the design.  I also couldn’t see any need for any embellies deciding to keep this uber CAS to let that gorgeous stencil shine.
