Bibi's Butterfly collection from Spellbinders Day 1

 Today I am featuring the first of three projects I have created using the new Bibi's Buttervfly Collection  from Spellbinders which was launched on Feb. 14.  

I started out by  using the Geometric Butterfly Stencil from the collection and 3 colors of distressed ink. I used blues and greens on white cardstock , but you could use any color combo you like.  After stenciled, I used the Butterfly Card Creator from the same collection to cut out the butterfly.  Then I cut the body of the butterfly using black glitter paper from my stash.  

For the card I started with an A2 white base card, to which I adhered a piece of Brushed Gold cardstock of the same size.  It was cut using my paper trimmer.  The I cut a slightly smaller piece of teal cardstock 5.25 x 4 inches and using the same stencil, and metallic gold ink, I stenciled the dots onto the background.  

The butterfly and body were then adhered to the teal cardstock and that was adhered to the base card.  

Then using the Butterfly Card Creator die again I cut out several of the greens and flowers using colors of cardstock that somewhat coordinated with the inks I used on the stencil along with some soft green for the leaves.  These were all cut using my Platinum 6 die cutting machine.  

The greenery was arranged and glued to the lower left corner of the card and the three flowers were adhered on top of them with a white pearl embellishment in the center of each.  

Finally I gold foiled the sentiment using my Glimmer Hot Foil System, Everyday Sentiments II Glimmer plate and gold foil.  It was cut out and popped up on the front of the card using foam squares.  

Here is another photo of the finished card:

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  Again you can choose any color combination you like and by changing the sentiment make it a card for any occasion.  Please check out Bibi's Butterfly Collection for all the wonderful dies, stamps, and stencils it contains.  I am sure you will find something you like!
