Time to Twofer! We're all a-flutter over at the
Twofer Card Challenge blog because our prompt is butterflies! My butterfly of choice is a die cut from Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Treat Box Spring House Add-on:
This first card is a bit free form. I had a large sheet of Yupo paper and just played around with different colors. I cut the panel from an interesting area of the paper, added the sentiment and butterfly which was cut out of the same paper.
The inside completes the sentiment with a Lawn Fawn Hello Pop-up and LF's Oliver's Stitched ABCs.
This birthday card uses both sizes of butterflies from the die set. I stamped the sentiment in dye ink and then in clear so I could heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.
And here's the lovely couple together:

Your freeform AI art is so striking and gorgeous, Kara ... it flows so beautifully ... a fabulous foil for that tiny butterfly! What a brilliant surprise to find the inside all dressed up in it's matching hello ... so creative and fun! The fresh, zesty greens are delicious on your birthday card ... those little framing butterflies add such lovely dimension ... and draw the eye beautifully to the embossed sentiment! Big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are adorable Kara! Love the medley of colors on the first card and the free, artsy look. Both designs are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteOh my that AI background is stunning such a lovely place for that butterfly to alight from. I also love your treatment of the circle on your second card framing it with lil flutterbys. So full of whimsy and delight.
ReplyDeleteBright and beautiful! Two great designs, and I just adore the AIs, they're just so beautiful!
ReplyDelete*sigh* All those blues and greens...So beautiful and summery. That alcohol ink backdrop is so perfect for your sweet little butterfly hello card. I absolutely love it! How do you do that??!! You know what mine turn out looking like, hahaha! Sweet, and very cool inside too. And the bracelet of butterflies on your birthday card. My word but they are fun! Very clever design on this one too. Your cards are always a delight!! Missing you and sending you hugs. xo Bev

ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous designs for Twofer, Kara - simply amazing, both of them!! Just love the mix of inks on yupo for card one - looks like beautiful agates!! And the plethora, flock, whatever it is, of butterflies on card two really makes me smile!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty butterfly cards, Kara! Love the AI background on the first card! And, second card is so sweet and pretty with all the little butterflies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bright designs Kara, that 'inside' Hello looks so clever!!
ReplyDeleteWow Kara, two fabulous cards! One so modern funky cool and the other super sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect cards for the middle of summer, Kara! So bright and happy! I'm swooning over the pattern and colors of your freeform card and the way you swooped your sediment perfectly! And I love that the inside is a totally structured popup HELLO surprise! You put together a great combo of a subtle pattern and plaid on your birthday card with lots of movement from your fun circular sediment with green and white butterflies around it! Keep well! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWOW...two FABULOUS cards Kara!! Your AI background is amazing and I love, LOVE the blues and greens together...the perfect colors to attract that butterfly!! And you WOW'd me with the inside too my friend...sooooo clever!! And your plaid and butterfly circle card is just as lovely too! You always amaze me with your creativity Kara, and this month definitely does not disappoint!! Take care and stay safe and stay cool too! It sure has been a HOT Summer so far hasn't it?! I admit I'm wimpy and LOVE my air conditioning!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Kara! I love the freeform pattern you created on the first card, and really, really LOVE the pop-up sentiment! Your 2nd card is so charming! I love the plaid paper and how you placed the butterflies around the circle...so pretty! Thanks so much for having me along as GD for July!
ReplyDeleteSo clever!! I love how both turned out!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am LOVING how you used those teeny weeny butterflies!! The first panel with the fun alcohol background is my favorite. I like the color combo. The second card with how you placed all those teeny, tiny beauties just boggles my mind. You have way more patience than I do for stuff like this!! AMAZING design for both of these cards!!
ReplyDeleteLove these bright colors!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what stunning twofers! I love the bright colors, they just give off cheery, happy vibes and in these times, we need that. Your beautiful inky background on the first one is just stunning. I love that you used the sentiment as the butterfly's trail. The second car is so cool with the butterflies going around in a wreath form. I love that they are two different colors! Fabulous paper too. Hugs, Brenda
