Flying Butterflies Card by Farhana Sarker

   

Flying Butterflies! 

Today we have a unique and creative card by Farhana featuring a kitty and butterflies that are suspended by fishing line!

For this card, she started by creating a card front with an oval window. She covered her card front with clouds using a printed paper from our Springtime Paper Pad. Then she cut the oval out of the center using our Oval Frames Die Set. 

Next, she stamped and colored the kitty with a butterfly net from our Captivated Kittens Stamp Set. She colored the kitty in neutral tones and used the coordinating Captivated Kittens Die Set to cut the image out. She added the kitty to the lower corner of the oval frame. 

To create the fun suspended butterflies she stamped a bunch little butterflies from the Newton's Blooms Stamp Set, Gnome Garden Stamp Set, Daffodils Stamp Set and Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set. She colored all these pretty butterflies, make two of each so they could be two sided. She cut them all out with the coordinating die sets.  Then she adhered them to fishing line, back to back, with the fishing line glued between them. Then she attached the fishing lines at the top and bottom. The little butterflies look as if they are suspended in the sky and can spin back and forth too! Here is an image of how that looks from the inside of the card:

And here is the finished card when it is closed. She also added the sentiment "Meow's it going?"  from our Captivated Kittens Stamp Set, stamped onto the stitched rounded edge banner from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

What a fun technique! How cool would it be to receive a card like this in the mail!?
