Butterflies create Beautiful Days

  • Another Beautiful Day card
  • Sale-A-bration selections with a $50 or $100 order

Silver Butterfly using Beautiful Day set 



Today's card uses the Beautiful Day stamp set, again.  This set, along with the Blends alcohol-based markers, has continued to grow on me.  It is such a versatile set and it works with so many different papers, colors and accessories.  Today, I paired this stamp set with Silver Embossing and Blends coloring on vellum to create this lovely butterfly card.
        
  




I used a basecard of Berry Burst.  Then a layer of Smoky Slate dry embossed with the Simple Stripes Textured Embossing Folder.  I inserted the paper diagonally into the embossing folder to create diagonal rather than vertical embossed lines on the Smoky Slate.  I then used the Lots of Labels Framelits to cut a frame out of Berry Burst and another out of Sweet Sugarplum.  I dry embossed the Sweet Sugarplum later with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and adhered the layers together.
    




The butterfly from the Beautiful Days set was stamped in Versamark on Vellum cardstock, and then covered with Silver Embossing powder.  I used the heat tool to set the embossing powder.  

Then I used the Dark Pink Pirouette Blends and the Light Rich Razzleberry Blends to color the reverse side of the vellum.  It creates a translucent look to the butterfly wings.  I waited a moment for the Blends markers to dry and then added a second layer of color to the vellum.   

  



The sentiment is from the Hello Friend set.  Its stamped in Berry Burst Ink and punched with a 1-1/4" punch.  I used a Silver Foil scalloped circle punched with the 1-3/8" scallop punch to mat the sentiment.  A bow created using the Berry Burst 3/8' Metallic Edge Ribbon was added to the top of the frame.  This card begs to be held up to the sunlight to show off the sparkle and shine and the subtle translucent butterfly.

Beautiful Day in Bermuda Bay

  • Flower from Beautiful Day stamp set
  • Sale-A-bration selections with a $50 or $100 order

Bermuda Bay flower from Beautiful Day set 



The card today uses the Beautiful Day set from the Stampin' Up! Occasion set.  This set includes both this large flower and a large butterfly.  Both create stunning cards.  I'm using the alcohol-based Blends again today, which I've been using heavily for cards this week.  I'm loving how easy it is to color images and add highlights using these wonderful markers.  And the Occasion catalog includes a wide variety of stamp sets that include images perfect for using these markers.    

        
  




I used Bermuda Bay as my basecard.  Then a layer of Soft Sky.  And then a layer of Whisper White.  The Whisper White layer was dry embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.   

The Old Olive striped paper is from the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Papers and this card uses a 2" strip under the flower.
    




The flower was stamped in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White.  Then clear embossing powder was poured over the wet Bermuda Bay ink and set with a heat tool.  The flower was fussy cute and then colored with the Light Bermuda Bay Blends marker.  

The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The banner behind the sentiment uses the light green Glimmer Paper from the Myths & Magic 6" X 6" Glimmer Paper pack from the Occasions catalog.   

  




The card comes together quickly yet looks sophisticated.  You'll be proud to send this card to someone you love. 


Recipe:

Stamps:  Beautiful Day
Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad, Bermuda Bay, Light Bermuda Bay Blends 
Paper:  Whisper White, Bermuda Bay Soft Sky, Myths & Magic 6 X 6" Glimmer Paper (light green), Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper
