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.
Of course, I *had* to use the outlines of the butterflies from the previous two cards to make a third...
That's it from me! Now your turn to join the fun!

All three cards are so beautiful. I had to read how you made it three times and I will probably have to read it again. Love how you used the outlines from the previous cards to make the third one. So creative!
Really beautiful card, love it. Anesha
I love the white backgrounds and gorgeous butterflies!
Aw, I'm glad you did - 3 times the beauty! These are simply SENSATIONAL!
Lovely Cards.
Love the way you used just the butterfly portion of the cover plate on some of your cards! Great idea!
Oh my goodness, these cards are glorious, Carol. What gorgeous colors in the paper. I think using the inlaid technique shows the butterflies off. And I love how the colors are so vibrant against the white. Wonderful work, my friend. :)
Simply beautiful!! Love this big, bold butterfly.
Beautiful, all three! I think I should cash in my alcohol inks and just buy this patterned paper. :D But it's all in the use, and these are perfection!
Oh, I especially love You are the bestest. The butterflies look amazing! Now I want those butterflies!
Awesome cards...love the gorgeous bold butterfly and how it takes center stage both on white and with size.
These are great winged cards! I love it when you can get multiple cards from the same
Die cut.
I like your trio of butterfly cards.
These cards are gorgeous. My favourite is the second card.
What a fantastic set of cards featuring butterflies
These are gorgeous and totally worth the trouble they took.
I like the grundge look. Nice project shares.
Love the gorgeous backgrounds showing through the die cuts!

Yeah, it's not sinking in for me either how you did this, and I just used this cover plate. My problem is static electricity once it goes through the rollers, on a die with this many pieces it's not worth my nerves to see them all jumping around getting lost. If I ever want a colored section, I'm cutting one to serve as a stencil and coloring in what I would be wanting to inlay back in. I've tried dryer sheets, cling wrap, maybe I should tape the back of my paper to my bottom plate, lol. XOX
All three cards are so beautiful. I like big butterflies!
