Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday night. Another clean and simple card for you tonight. I took the idea of using a shape on a shape from the clean and simple challenge at splitcoast again tonight….. I've been wanting to do a Beautiful Wings embosslit CAS card for a while…. so this was perfect. I'm loving these little butterflies. BTW. I have hotlinked the Beautiful Wings for you, so that you can go straight to the SU website and take a look at it there!
I used Whisper White card stock for the card base and Shades of Spring DSP for the butterflies. I love this DSP… but ….mmm… I think I love the Lovely Bundles even more 🙂
I know you can't see that well, but I did score two lines above the sentiment to create a break between the butterflies and the sentiment.
To meet the "shape on a shape" requirement for the challenge, I cut a circle (also in the same DSP) under the larger butterfly and mounted the big purple butterfly with mini glue dots.
For the other butterflies, I stuck down one side of the wing with snail, and left the other unglued, to give the effect of flight.
I love the fact that the Butterfly Wings embosslit gives texture to the butterflies to add interest, especially on a clean and simple card. I ran the embosslit – with two layers of paper – through my Big Shot.
The sentiment "you raise kindness to an art" is from Vintage Vogue (118598 clear and 117690 wood) and I stamped that in Orchid Opulence.
I used the 3/4" circle punch for the circle underneath the larger butterfly.
So… I hope you like your second night of clean and simple – and quick to create cards.
Tonight… I'm off to play with my new "Awash with Flowers" set, which is the preview from the upcoming IB&C. There's also a special for April on this set set. I'm hoping to get some time in my studio tonight to create a couple of samples for you… otherwise I will do it this weekend. If you haven't seen this set, have a word with your demonstrator about it. I think it's fabulously pretty.. now ….. the test is can I do something with it 🙂
Spring is almost taking a hold… and I say almost…. as Cherie noted in her comment today….. it was dull and gloomy. However, Lou did notice a pair of nutchatches making mating moves in our front garden…. it's still a little cold.. but hey.. they must have felt that warmer weather was around the corner!
Have a fabulous evening my stamping friends. As always, thank you for your visit and your support.
Hugs
Jaydee

Just beautiful! I think I’m going to have to CASE this one! So pretty….and yes, spring is almost here – we had like 80 degree temp. today!
This is a really beautiful card. Love the colours too. Here you can feel just a slight coolness in the air at night – but it is still hot in the day. I like the changes of season – the colours of autumn and the freshness of spring.
Another pretty card! Love it!
Oh this is beautiful! I love how simple yet colorful it is. I think I need to start saving for a big shot! I love how one wing is out as though in flight…so creative! I love that I found your blog.
Beautiful–as always. I like it that you are not afraid to leave the “empty” spaces-there really is much to be said for CAS cards!
I love the details of the fussy ones too, but these CAS are so attractive!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it Jaydee! I will certainly be casing this one during my playtime this weekend.
Spring is certainly on it’s way (I heard a Robin on Tuesday and it was thundering this morning), but with this card it’s already spring on you blog. Thank you so much for sharing your talent my friend!
