Sarah's birthday butterflies

Good morning! No, you’re not dreaming, I’m actually posting 2 days in a row. Today I have a matching card & box to show you, which continue the butterfly theme. I made them for my friend & fab SU team member Sarah’s (of Sarah’s Stamping Style) birthday last month. I was tempted to use Sarah’s favourite colour melon mambo, but I remembered I’d made her a melon package at Christmas (note to self – I haven’t shown this either!), so decided to try something different, which I hope she liked too. Anyhoo, here’s the finished card...

The colours are a combination of marina mist, bashful blue, certainly celery, with just a touch of razzleberry. My big shot got a work-out cutting the ‘Beautiful Butterflies’ & Beautiful Wings’ butterflies & embossing the bashful blue card with the ‘Elegant Lines’ embossing folder.  So quick & easy to do, but I get such a kick every time I do it. The layout was inspired by the Inkspirations challenge 67 sketch – I just changed a couple of details.

Here’s a closer look at the main butterfly, which I think looks sooo pretty. Just a couple of notes – the itty bitty button is backed with a little razzleberry DSP & the antennae are made with linen thread.

...& the inside (which has a punched brand new decorative label to cover up a verrrry crooked sentiment!) Oops! Don't check it S

I also got Sarah a glittery snow globe that holds photos, so I made a matching box...which I think from memory was around 9.5cm square (Sarah said yes it is, so all good!). Here it is closed...

& open!

Finally, here’s the card & box together....

Must have been taken the pic at a weird angle, as the poor card looks a little dumpy (& no-one wants that LOL). I was really please how they turned out, so hope Sarah liked them too. If you’d like more info on anything, just leave a comment or drop me a line.

Next time, I'll  have a similar card to show you - this time with a more vintage twist (well, vintage for me!) Until then, take care of one another.

Inky wishes, Di
