Hi there!
This morning I received some beautiful products kindly sent to me by Penny Black from their latest release, Scent of Spring.
My package had spent a frustrating week enjoying the hospitality of British customs at Heathrow, and so I could not wait to get crafty! The first products I reached for were the amazing Aerial butterfly stencils (25-024) and die (51-811). I cut the butterfly from white cardstock first before using the stencil set. I inlaid the die cut back into the card that I had cut it from and kept it in place using masking tape on the back and then simply laid the stencils on top. It worked well for me as it meant that I could balance the white edging on each wing.
Anyway, I used various distress inks on the wings and then added glitter around the edges of the wings – this is so sparkly in real life!
For the background, I used the pretty new All-in-one Oval (51-815). I blended more distress ink on my card base before adhering the Oval background panel and then Miss Aerial on top.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from the Delightful Day set (30-955) and a few sequins.
Thanks for stopping by!
