Fluttering By Gift Set

Here's another project I made for Verve Visual's May release. This set features the Fluttering By set. I started off by making a little box out of acetate to hold the cards. I stamped that with a polka-dotted circle stamp and white stazon. Then I added eyelets and a ribbon handle. Next I made 4 cards to go in the box-bag. I chose a single type of patterned paper, white and berry sorbet cardstock, coral ribbon, square nestabilities, and white embossing powder and got started on creating 4 different layouts. I had jotted down a few sketches to follow along, and for the most part I stuck to them. One thing that I thought was kind of fun was how I did the coloured wing part of the butterflies. Instead of colouring it in, I stamped the butterfly on the coloured cardstock, then cut that out. The cutting job didn't even need to be that precise, because I had also stamped the butterfly on the white square. I was kind of surprised by how much I liked the bright coral, white, and black colour combo.
