Brilliant Wings Rustic Harvest Card

Autumn is such a beautiful season, isn't it? I love the gorgeous colours, harvest fruit & veg, and the sense of excitement with all the new routines being formed. At the same time, I'm not *quite* ready to let everything summery go quite yet - hence today's card.

My card today gives a nod to the summery butterflies, while using an autumn colour palette. The best of both seasons! Since the only stamping is the sentiment, it's also a very versatile design that can be tailored to any occasion. Here's how I made it:

1. Die cut:
1. a Shimmery White label that fits your sentiment, using Stylish Shapes Dies 
2. two small Shimmery White butterflies, using Brilliant Wings Dies
3. an additional small butterfly in Merry Merlot
2. Stamp sentiment in Merry Merlot onto label cut from Shimmery White Cardstock.
3. Adhere a 3 1/2” x 4 3/4” piece of Rustic Harvest DSP to a 3 3/4” x 5” piece of Basic Black Cardstock. Attach to a 4” x 5 1/4” Crushed Curry panel to create a card mat.
4. Adhere body only of each butterfly to card mat. (Multipurpose Liquid Glue works well.) Press firmly. When glue is dry, bend wings gently upward to create a 3D effect. Add Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels as desired.
5. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, attach label to card mat. Add jewels as desired.
6. Cut, score, and fold a 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” Merry Merlot card base. Burnish with bone folder.
7. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, attach card mat to card base.
8. Adhere a 4” x 5 1/4” Basic White panel to card’s interior. Add Merry Merlot butterfly in same manner as in step 4. Add jewels as desired.
