STAMPIN' UP! BUTTERFLY BIRTHDAY CARD FOR TCH#22

 The colour challenge at Color Hues called out to me this week!  

I've used Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay, with lots of white and a few black touches.

Starting off with a piece of Basic White card, I glued 1.5cm-wide horizontal strips of Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay card on top.  I cropped this piece with a Stitched Rectangles Die, and used the "holey" die from the Brilliant Wings set to create a "peekaboo" background.  I like that these holes, showing the Stitched Greenery background, look like white splatters.

Before die-cutting the butterfly, I stuck a piece of adhesive sheet to the reverse side of my Basic White card scrap; this made it much cleaner to adhere the intricate die cut to my card.

This close-up shot shows the stitched scalloped edge I attached to the top of the main panel, and the glittery bow that adds a bit of drama:

On a leftover strip of Bermuda Bay card, I white heat-embossed the sentiment, and added Matte Black Dots to finish off the design:
