Winged things 1
Posted: January 27, 2015 Filed under: Doodles, Flights of Fancy, Flower Frolic, Swirling Wings | Tags: Penny Black creative dies, Ranger Distress stains 8 CommentsI have more Penny Black prettiness to share today, this time of the creative die variety. There are so many beautiful dies in the new release and this butterfly is one I will probably reach for again and again.
The butterfly on the card above is two layers but cut from three different pieces of cardstock. The underside of the butterfly is a solid red butterfly cut using the ‘flights of fancy’ die. I used the co-ordinating ‘swirling wings’ creative die to cut a lacy butterfly from white cardstock and from watercoloured cardstock. I kept the frame of the watercoloured butterfly for a card I’ll share tomorrow but popped out all the inserts and inserted them into the white lacy butterfly. I splattered some of the same watercolours onto the white card panel and die cut two sprays of flowers with the ‘flower frolic’ die. The little curly ‘hello’ is from a set of three called ‘doodles’ which will be wonderful to use.
Make sure you visit the Penny Black blog and facebook this week; there are giveaways along with all the new inspiration.

What an Absolutely Beautiful Card!!!
I love the butterfy dies and the diecut flowers coming in from the edge look so pretty and then the finishing touch of the curly sentiment. A really beautiful card Heather. x
So very pretty! I love the look of the watercolored insets.

Beautiful card Heather ! sorry but my fav is winged 2 🙂
Hi Maria,
Thanks for visiting and for leaving me such kind comments. Winged 2 is my favourite too; I just love the contrast with the black.
Heather, it’s lovely! I had to read the butterfly layers 2 or 3 times. LOL The water color pieces really pop inside the white outline. I will definately have to try this.
