Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today! I’m so happy to be sharing my card and to show you you a lovely technique for a lace die cut background of butterflies
I’m participating in Kylie’s monthly International Blog Highlights contest and the top 10 vote winners get to participate in an International Blog Hop. I would be so grateful if you could consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks so much, I truly appreciate your support!
This card looks really complicated, but it’s much simpler than you would think. It’s from my recent KISS Class and the attendees loved it, so I thought I would make some more to send to customers.
I don’t know about you, but I find colouring in just so relaxing and this stamp set is so easy to colour.
Now when it comes to colouring butterflies you can really go to town. Pretty much anything goes!
lace die cut background of butterflies
I took my colour scheme from the spring Daffodils in the garden – Yellow and Orange
Because there was quite a bit of white space I thought it would be fun to add some lace details. You can see how I made it below.

How To make the card with a lace die cut background of butterflies
- Attach the Fourth layer of Basic White to an adhesive sheet
- Die cut 6 different detailed butterflies in the White card
- Attach to the Third Layer in a random pattern filling as much space as possible.
- Trim off the excess wings and use to fill any gaps on the edges.
- Make sure everything is stuck down and assemble Layers 1 to 3
- Die cut the Oval from the Flowering Vine Designs (TIP: You could also add the adhesive sheet to the Basic Black card before cutting to help with sticking to the card)
- Add to the card base
- Stamp the largest Butterfly image in Memento Black Ink, Die cut
- Colour the image with Stampin Blends in Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & So Saffron
- Add the butterfly to the card using glue on the abdomen and Dimensionals on the wings.
- Heat emboss the sentiment in White Stampin’ Emboss powder on the scrap of Basic Black
- Trim down to a skinny border and attach to the butterfly with glue.
Voila!
