Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 19 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Gorgeous Grape, what a pretty colour I'm not a big purple person myself but it is very nice. So this week I thought I would make a lovely card using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (on page 106 of the Annual Catalogue) Such a lovely bundle. I started with a Basic white card base and used the Gorgeous Grape to layer on my card then using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing fold I embossed another piece of basic white to layer over the Gorgeous Grape layer. I then add another layer (smaller) in both Gorgeous Grape and Basic white, this time I stamped the white piece using the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and Gorgeous Grape ink. After gluing these together I added dimensionals to the back and place this on the card front. I cut out a large plain butterfly from the same bundle and then with the same size filigree butterfly I cut this out in Silver Foil Card. layering my sentiment in the same way to finish off my card front. Adding only a few Basic Pearls that I coloured for the finishing touched.
For my insert I layered the Gorgeous Grape and white card together and then stamped down the left-hand side with the butterfly stamp. keeping the rest very simple and stamping the insert message from the Pansy Patch stamp set. All the items used in this project are in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Your card is really lovely, Di. I love how you've stamped the partial butterflies on the panel behind the main butterfly. That big butterfly is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card design, Di - I love your stamped panel and a elegant colour combination of Gorgeous Grape, silver and white.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, to use butterflies, for your Gorgeous Grape project, Di. The silver detailed butterfly looks lovely overlaid on the Gorgeous Grape one, and all the white on your card is a really nice complement to this rather strong purple. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteStunning butterfly Di, silver looks very elegant with Gorgeous Grape
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Diane. Gorgeous Grape and white is simply gorgeous. I love your details - the embossing, gorgeous grape mounts and stamping, and the delightful butterfly. Xxx
ReplyDeleteLove that big, bold butterfly being the feature over the partially stamped butterfly panel. The layering is lovely too!

ReplyDeleteLovely colours in your elegant card Di and I particularly like the large silver filigree butterfly mounted on the Gorgeous Grape base. Also like the texture via the embossed background.
