It's another beautiful summer day and I have a colorful butterfly card to share with you that I created with lots of Fun Stampers Journey goodies.
I started out creating a basic A2 size card base with Whip Cream Cardstock and then I ran it through the Journey Grand to emboss it with the new Beach Towel embossing folder. Next, I created a frame for my card using the Journey Rectangle dies set and some bright and sunny Orange Creamsicle Cardstock.
Then I created a fun scene of butterflies flying through the clouds adhering them with Journey Foam Squares to give the accents dimension.
To give my butterflies the appearance of movement, I added some Black Licorice Journey Twine behind them. My trick to attaching the twine is to not actually attach it at all. Yep! I simply unroll a little of the twine and place it on the card.
Then I tucked part of the twine behind my clouds before I attached the butterflies over the twine. So...there's actually no adhesive on the twine itself!
For a bit of sunshiny sparkle, I sprinkled the card with some pretty sequins.
Finally, I also made a matching envelope with a piece of the new Journey Basics Bright Paper Pack!
Hope you enjoy a fun sunshiny summer day!
