Creative Card Crew - Shape it & Caardvarks Shape Up!


I saw the template for this butterfly shaped card some time ago, in one of the many publications in my craft room. Finding it was a different matter! I did enjoy looking for it mind you.
I have done lots of stamping on this one. I stamped and heat embossed the card with the manuscript, the splats and flowers prior to cutting out the shape. Then I added the other odds and ends once it was cut out.
I used my DIY Stampamajig made from Lego again for positioning the sentiment on the tag and it worked like a dream. Have a look back at the card for 365 Cards Day 80 for the Youtube link.
I don't often make shaped cards, but I like the shape of this one. I'm glad I found the template.

    Glad you had fun finding the template and making the card. What a lovely butterfly. I'm still scratching my head trying to think of a shape, maybe I'll get sorted before the next challenge launches!

    I was thinking of a butterfly for this challenge, but would have had to draw one free hand...no template in my craft room :) Sooo, glad I didn't now that I see your card, it's beautiful!
