Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules has chosen No Flowers for our theme this time..
For my card I used an older butterfly stamp & die set by Stampin Up. After stamping the butterflies, I colored them with Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake Blends, then die cut them out. The brick pattern paper was in my stash and I thought it made a good background for the butterflies. I added a black mat and glued it to the white card base. I added a 3/4" black strip to the center of the panel and then added the sentiment panel, an older SU set. I glued the butterflies down in the center and lifted their wings for dimension. I added small black pearl dots for a little bling.
Be sure to check our the Design Team & our Party Guests cards to see more inspiration without flowers. I hope to see you in our gallery.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Your butterflies are lovely, JoAnn! The brick background was a great choice!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are awesome and the card design is great.
ReplyDeleteI think I have some of that brick paper, JoAnn, and it works great with your lovely butterflies.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't I think of that? Butterflies are a second choice for me if we can't use flowers. Your butterflies are beautiful with that great design. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteYou usually make such beautiful flower cards, Joanne, but you just really captured this challenge with your butterflies,
ReplyDeleteLove that colour combo on your pretty butterflies JoAnn, the brick design looks perfect as the backdrop, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteNo flowers is a big challenge, JoAnn! Your pretty butterflies are a perfect alternative!
ReplyDeleteI wondered what you would choose for my Topping and did hope you wouldn't think I was picking on you. There are many whose go to is florals so I thought it would be a nice change. Your card is lovely! Now hopefully those butterflies can find a flower to land on. Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are so delicate and pretty, JoAnn, and they look great against the brick wall background.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card JoAnn! Great butterflies - lovely hit of colour on the lovely black and white. The textured background is perfect.
