Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi

Made these postcard-style cards for my new colleagues. I joined the company in April 2021 but due to MCO lockdown again, we still unable to meet physically. Hopefully one day we can gather physically and pass along these postcard-style cards.

CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #425 - Sketch

For this card, again, I am adopting the sketch from CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #425 - Sketch as shown above. I made two (2) cards as well but changing up the image of the butterflies.

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi - Design 1

The butterfly images are stamped on white card stock and colored using Copic markers. The butterflies are die-cut using matching dies.

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi - Design 2

Two (2) lace border rectangles are die-cut from orange cardstock. While two (2) dotted rectangles are die-cut from cream cardstock with a light pattern. The cream dotted rectangle is attached to the orange lace border card base as in the sketch. The sentiment is stamped in the vertical direction as shown in the sketch.

Then, the butterflies are attached to the cream dotted rectangle as shown in the sketch. I alternate the butterflies with the first and third butterflies with the same shape and design. The second butterfly is different and attached using foam tape to give some dimension.

The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the butterflies' wings to make them sparkle and shine.
