Another Darnell NBUS challenge so that means another card using a NBUS product. My NBUS is the stencil from Stamplorations.
This card was a lot of fun making as I began by stenciling the butterflies at a class. We were working on anything we wanted and some of the ladies were using embossing folders. So I took this stenciled piece and ran it through the Cuttlebug with an unknown embossing folder. The next day I began to play some more and used two different dies. What is interesting is that the solid die is not paper but rather a piece of foil from a peanut can. Really. One of the ladies is big into recycling and she introduced this clever idea a year ago. The stenciled/embossed paper was attached to blue card stock and then white card stock.

Sounds like a fun class, Barb! I love how you've used multi colors on the stenciled butterflies and using the foil for the solid butterfly is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning! I love your gorgeous butterfly and your background is amazing.

ReplyDeleteWell, how's that for ingenuity! I love how this turned out, BBB! I love the e/f over the beautiful butterfly stenciling and making the solid butterfly out of recycled foil is so inspired!
