STAMPlorations Things with Wings 2021 Hop and Link Party...Butterfly Coverplate Trio

Hello,

I'm delighted welcome you to STAMPlorations' 2021 THINGS WITH WINGS Hop and Linky Party! This celebration of Spring also comes with invitations for you to play along with us and win PRIZES! See details below as well as on the STAMPloration post.

I'm sharing a trio of cards made with the Butterfly Cover Plate  and P13 paper (so gorgeous!)

For my first card, I die cut only the butterfly from the plate; first with 'scrap' cardstock to create a template and the second with the P13 paper. After placing the template on my panel, I inlaid the patterned paper pieces ( the purples/wine and gold...oh my!) and once everything was in place, removed the outline. While it was a bit fiddly, this time I was smart: I placed Die Cut 'n Bond on my P13 papers before cutting, which essentially transformed each piece into an easy-to-adhere sticker. The final card has 'only' the inset pieces, which are so pretty in being a bit dimensional. To add some texture, I used a stamped around the wings with the dotted image from Mixed Media Grunge. The sentiment is a sticker from my stash.

My second card is similar to the previous, except here, the cover plate is intact.  More P13 paper...and this one - in hues of pink/orange and gold - is also swoon-inducing. 

Of course, I *had* to use the outlines of the butterflies from the previous two cards to make a third...

Here's my trifecta....

That's it from me! Now your turn to join the fun!
