Butterfly Brilliance – Special Reason

Design Team Time for the Atlantic Hearts (#693) Sketch.  I chose portrait and fun fold styling.

My design influences: Retro Rubber (#277), a Tic Tac Toe Board, choosing the center line across: Ink Blending, Butterfly and a Fun Fold for my Free space and Tic Toe Toe (#298) choosing the right line down: Butterfly, Fun Fold, and Color Pencils.

Sharing with Creative Folds (#117) and Ellibelle’s I Spy (#39) something with WINGS.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (4¼” x 5½”) Balmy Blue cardstock.             
• Accent Mat: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Diamond Folds: (4” x 5¼”) Blue Floral / Yellow Stripe and Blue Diamond / Yellow Floral patterned pieces of paper from the Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper pack, an On-Line Exclusive product, cut into four triangles.
• Inside Mat: (3⅝” x 4⅞”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The four patterned paper triangles were folded and adhered to the backside of the Mat.
  • The Panel was then adhered to the Accent Mat, which was then adhered to the Card Base.
• Sentiment Flap: (3” x 2¾”) x 2 Basic White cardstock die-cut with the (2¾” x 2½”) Octagonal die from the Forever Florals Dies set, just added to the Last Chance List.
  • The sentiment, I’m lucky to have a good friend like you, from the retired Special Reason stamp set (circa 2017) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • The two Flaps were adhered back to front with the top triangle tip tucked in between.
• Decoration – Butterflies: Basic White cardstock.
  • The two bottom Butterflies, from the Butterfly Brilliance background stamp (circa 2021), were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • Using a Blending Brush, Balmy Blue ink was added to the Butterflies.
  • Color details were added with Watercolor Pencils.  Colors chosen: Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Basic Black.
  • Sparkle was added to the Butterflies with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.  Hard to see but very pretty.
  • The Butterflies were fussy-cut with Detail Scissors and added to the Flap with Dimensionals.
