Daisies and butterflies

Welcome back friends!  My project for today is a card I created using products from Scrappy Tails Crafts March 2021 release.  They are the Oopsy Daisy stamp set and the Sitting Butterflies dies.  Let's take a look at my card shall we?

I had more pictures of the process but I managed to delete them somehow!  So I took a few pictures of some of the pieces and then the final card.  I'll talk you through the process.

I started with this gel print I made some time ago.  When I can't really create, I love to get out my gel plate and just play.  This results in a stack of prints for me to pull out when the mood strikes!  This purple and yellow print called to me.

I cut it down to 3 1/4" x 8 1/4".  Next I went to my stack of random things in my craft room.  I had swatched out some brand new shimmer watercolors earlier in the month in a rainbow order.  I grabbed the Sitting Butterfly dies and cut out the solid butterfly die six times.

I then cut out the detail butterfly die six times out of black watercolor paper that I had swatched with the same shimmer watercolors.  I used a liquid glue to adhere the outline piece to the watercolor solid butterfly.  I intentionally kept from lining the images up exactly.  This makes it look like the solid butterfly is more of a shadow image.

I stamped two of the daisies from the Oopsy Daisy set with black ink directly onto the gel print panel.  Then I played around with the placement of the butterflies.  I felt like I had some empty space so I stamped several of the adorable bees from the same stamp set.

Next I adhered the gel print panel to a white, slimline card base.  The two butterflies on the left side of the card I let hangover the edge of the card.  I simply trimmed off the excess.  Before I added the butterfly on the right I added my sentiment which is popped up with foam tape.  I also added foam tape to the last butterfly and placed it so it looked like the butterfly was resting on the sentiment.  This one goes to the edge of the panel but not so far that I had to trim bits off of it.

For just a tiny bit more detail I took some gray Copic markers and colored the flower centers.  And that does it!  I will be back very soon with a project from the brand new June release!  Don't forget the discount code you can use for 10% off, STCBLOG.
