Challenge #7 - Use a Butterfly Theme

Welcome to The Card Concept. 

This week we have a theme for you to try! You must use the theme and create your card in one of the styles of the designers. 


The styles are explained HERE.



Clean & Simple

When using Copic markers create a separate panel so the recipient will not see the marker bleed on the inside.



Select a simple image and a large sentiment and you have the makings of a perfect CAS card.


Clean & Graphic


Match the feeling and weight of the lines in your font and image for a unified, clean feeling.




A layer of colored vellum can add softness to a clean & graphic card.

Clean & Layering




I just randomly cut some patterned papers on the diagonal and glued them down to create the background for this pretty butterfly.

I was inspired to use an assortment of butterflies to incorporate the theme, even a butterfly girl :)


Shabby Chic


I love the butterfly in the inspiration pic so I went about finding a similar one in my stamping supplies.  I think it's not a bad match (minus the blue tinge on it's wing!).



I found inspiration in the damask pattern on this pretty butterfly - I incorporated a black and vanilla color palette with a splash of pink and a pinch of elegant silver!



Freestyle Collage


My card doesn't deviate much from the inspiration because I loved the image and colours as they are.

I was drawn to these beautiful colors of the inspiration photo,so i mainly focused on them.And the dots on the butterfly,inspired me to create my dotted background!


Classy & Elegant



I used lots of layers, texture and shine to achieve an elegant look.

An elegant embossing folder adds interest without taking away from the butterfly focal point.
