Très Chic Butterfly Madness

Yesterday I showed you a pendant using the new 'Tres Chic' 4260K stamp by Penny Black, I can't get over how versatile this stamp is, every time I look at it another idea pops into my head!

Here are a few more cards that I created using this stamp

For this card I stamped 'Tres Chic' 4260K onto white card and again onto several pieces of patterned paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured the main image with Copic markers and then cut out the butterflies and layered over the original image with dimensional glue.  I wanted to give the impression of the butterflies flying away so I added a few extra ones to the right.  The card was then edged with a purple fine liner pen.

The light  'Purple Mountain' 12-001 background panel was stamped with 'Fanciful' 40-100 in a soft mauve ink and stitched to the card base with mint thread. A separate doily was cut using a Marianne die from patterned paper and mounted onto the 'Purple Mountain' 12-002 card base.  I then cut a label for the sentiment using a Spellbinders Labels Four and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black's transparent set 'Sweet Wishes' 30-104, to finish off I distressed the edges with Memento Grape Jelly ink. To add a bit of sparkle I added diamond stickles to the bodies of each butterfly and around her swirly neckline.

After creating this card, I realised that I had a plethora of butterflies that I simply couldn't throw away......so this is the result!

I cut the butterflies and mounted onto white card with dimensional glue, drew in antenna and added diamond stickles to their bodies.  I then cut scalloped borders using 'Purple Mountain' 12-001 & 12-002 and Spellbinders Classic Scallop borders, and stitched to the white panel.  The main card blank has been created using 'Forest Glen' 07-001 Mix and Match cardstock that has been stamped with 'Damask Pattern' 40-110 and Tim Holtz Bundled Sage ink.

The sentiment button was created by stamping '...wishes' 30-103 in chalk ink and colouring the flower and leaves with Copics.
