So I finally used the Fluttering TIEF, I’ve had it for ages and just haven’t used it. I have no idea why. But in the shower today, I thought about spotlighting a butterfly over a matching textured background. So here it is.

I used the Fluttering TIEF on a piece of whisper white (actually also on crushed curry but that didn’t work for today’s project. I’ll use it soon) and then turned my attention to the butterfly. This one is from Watercolor Wings and it’s a two step stamp (actually three, but we never seem to call it by the actual number of steps!). I stamped the solid butterfly in crushed curry and added pumpkin pie for the edges of the wings. Then it was melon mambo for the details. I cut out a piece of melon mambo 1/16 inch bigger to frame this. The textured piece of whisper white is mounted onto a melon mambo card base and the butterfly is popped up with dimensionals.

The envelope is lined using the envelope liners whilst they are still non-retired and the brights retired backgrounds DSP stack. It’s an easy way to dress up an envelope.

I noticed this morning whilst browsing the pre-order items (a perk of being a demonstrator) that there’s a new punch coming out called Sprinkles. It cuts out the confetti that I cut yesterday using the Party Pop-up thinlits dies – much easier to use a punch. I’m going to wait until tomorrow to put in my preorder when cutting blades will be available. But soon I’ll have my hands on the new incolours. Can’t wait!

See you tomorrow,
