However, as is so often the case, I started seeing some amazing cards made using this set. I particularly like the texture elements in the stamp set and I think I will use it without the butterflies as much as I will use it with them.
My first card uses both the stamps and the two very large butterfly collection dies.
The main colours here are lemon lime twist and lovely lipstick with the addition of pool party and grapefruit grove. I liked the idea of placing the butterflies off the edge of the card and the partial butterfly in the top right hand corner is an off cut from the main piece. The background is randomly stamped, I love that 'freehand' look. The sentiment is one of my favourites and comes from Picture Perfect Birthday.
The second card is much more subtle with just stamping and a little colouring with watercolour pencils and a blender pen. The colours in the floral scrolls are daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and old olive, in the butterfly, old olive has been replaced with bermuda bay.
The third card is a little one, 4" square (100mm). The card base is pool party, the stamped colours are pool party, blushing bride and so saffron with memento black for the sentiment. I like the effect of cutting the stamped layer into strips, letting a little of the background colour show through. I love this colour combo too, we're a long way from summer but this makes me think of ice cream!
The last card I've made is in neutral colours, sahara sand, crumb cake, soft suede and early espresso. Cutting the butterflies was a bit of a labour of love but amazingly you can cut 10 in one go with the dies in the set. The sentiment is from the host set Hand Delivered and the die cut circle is from Stitched Labels Framelits.
