Rainbow Butterfly Birthday Card

 Hi everyone,  I've got a fairly simple card to share today.  

 

Paper Rose Studio Supplies: Eucalyptus Gum Leaf 6x6" Stencil 22585, Rainbow Garden Florals Embossed Die Cuts 31563, Rainbow Garden Butterflies Embossed Die Cuts 31476, Happy Birthday A5 10pc Sentiment Sheets 30720 - Foil, Austin Circle Frame Metal Cutting Die 30225.

You can see I've still been enjoying those Rainbow Garden embellishments!  

I started this card by placing the Eucalyptus Gum Leaf stencil onto my card front.  I used Catherine Pooler inks in Hot Tub through the stencil over the leaves and Cranberry Fizz for the berries ( I think I used a little artistic licence on the colour of those berries - my apologies to all the Aussies!).  Once the ink was dry, I applied a layer of Distress Grit Paste in Snowfall and set the card front aside to dry.

I cut the Austin Circle from white cardstock, and just used the outer ring.  I place a piece of vellum in behind the center of the circle, and adhered it to the outer ring. 

Once the card front was dry, I attached it to my 5 1/2" square card base.  Then I adhered the vellum circle in the center.  I attached the little bouquet of flowers and the butterfly with glue.  I trimmed the sentiment down and cut the right hand end in a banner style, before attaching it to the circle.  Finally, I rounded the right hand corners of my card to soften it a little. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I've given you a little inspiration today!

Double Spinner Cards *VIDEO*

Hello everyone and welcome back!  I'm really excited to share my cards today because this is such a fun interactive card and I have only seen it done once on Pinterest. Here's a look at my card and I have a couple of other examples for you in the video.


Supplies Used: Rainbow Twirl 2.0 12x12 Paper Collection 31046, Rainbow Twirl Bouquets Die Cuts 31070, Rainbow Garden Florals Embossed Die Cuts 31563, Rainbow Garden Butterflies Embossed Die Cuts 31476, Rainbow Garden Cut Aparts Paper Pack 31557, Happy Birthday A5 10pc Sentiment Sheets 30720 - Foil.

Now I know you can't see the interactive element in the photo, but as you open the card, the flowers and gnomes spin around the centre as they are mounted on two different circles.  It's lots of fun, and I don't really want to tell you how many times I have opened and closed these cards!  Plus, it's full of all things rainbow by Paper Rose Studio - I love all those embellishments!
