Butterflies X 2

Today I finished two cards for Twofer Card challenge where the theme is butterflies. My butterfly stamp is from Penny Black.


Card 1 - Roses
For this card I used a freebie set of Alternew roses. The butterflies are stamped with sand colored ink and I attached a pearl to each butterfly. The label is stamped and I chose an old looking paper.
This card is also for:
Allsorts - #468 Happy Birthday
Fussy and Fancy - #212 FAVORITE FLORALS


Card 2 - Wildflowers
Here I was inspired by the colors yellow, blue and green. I used a TH stencil and the sentiment as well as the butterfly are Penny Black stamps. The butterfly is popped on foam and I kept the die cut wildflowers white.

    It's so clever that you used the stamped butterfly for cutting the Twofer item(s), well done! Love both the card, but especially the second one with these sweet colots!

    The neutral colour palette creates such a calm, vintage look for your butterflies, Pia ... and I love the freshness of your soft stencilled shades with those crisp white wildflowers, the butterfly really pops against them! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)

    Beautiful cards! I love how you stenciled the background and the white die cut foliage sets off the butterfly perfectly. Thanks for joining us at CC&S.

    Your vintage looking birthday card has such a soft warm feel with those beautiful roses. I love the pearl detail on the butterflies! Such an elegant group of white sprigs for your butterfly to rest, and a beautifully stenciled background lends to the dreamy feel of your encouragement card! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

    what a wonderful set of cards and they so how very versatile your style is! Naturally I opt for the second card as my fav, a wonderful fresh looking desgin but do love the romance of the first card-all the colours blend so well x
