Happy Birthday Butterflies

Hi Crafty Friends,
Poppy Stamps Nordic Butterflies are just gorgeous! I created a birthday card featuring them in shades of teal. I love the layered wings.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Did you see a butterfly this spring?
A: Me? Not yet

Step #1: I started by creating the bigger butterfly, Poppy Stamps Nordic Whisper Butterfly 2779 out of Poppy Stamps 6x6 Lagoon Paper Pack SP1010. I made the outer wings the darkest and lighter towards the middle.


Step #2: I created the little butterflies, Poppy Stamps Nordic Cheery Butterflies 2767 out of matching paper to the larger but this time there is no middle shade in the wings so I used the middle shade of Lagoon for the body. 

Step #3: I created my background with Poppy Stamps Birthday Fun 6x6 teal pattern papers. I mounted Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Tender Script Die 2768 towards the upper left corner and surrounded it with my butterflies. I finished my card by hand-drawing the butterfly trails.

  1. Meghan, your butterfly card is beautiful! I love all the different layers that Poppy Stamps have and the colors that you’ve chosen are so pretty. I’m excited because I’m going to be their guest designer in August and I’ve got my first order from them. I’ve never worked with their stuff, but after seeing what you’ve created I’m really excited to open my package. That’s so cool that you design for them. You’re very talented and I can see why they have chosen you for that. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday also! We always appreciate you!
