Ho fatto questa card con alcuni challenge in mente. Perdonate le pessime foto ma il meteo è molto instabile, con forti piogge e brevi schiarite con sole accecante. (Sì, finalmente piove, qui da me, ma c'è talmente tanta siccità che il torrente dopo due giorni di pioggia è ancora completamente asciutto, il greto ha assorbito tutta l'acqua!!!)
Su un cartoncino verde ho incollato il leftover di un taglio da carta patterned (by La Stamperia) della bellissima grande farfalla Sizzix (TH) e poi l'ho tagliato a metà. Ho creato la gatefold con un pezzo dello stesso cartoncino verde, facendo lo scoring in base alle misure dei pannelli con il leftover. Poi nel mio organizer di fustellate pronte ho preso due farfalle bianche già embossate con la EF coordinata e le ho colorate con i Distress Inks.
Volevo che il topper che tiene chiusa la card fosse doppio, in modo da "riempire i due buchi" del leftover e dare maggiore interesse al design, perciò ho decorato le farfalle e le ho incollate nelle due parti del leftover.
In questo modo, aprendo la card si scopre l'altra farfalla che non era visibile all'esterno.All'interno ho incollato un'altra fustellata pronta by Sizzix, un cerchio scallop dove andrà il sentiment a seconda dell'occasione, e due farfalline tagliate con un punch da un avanzo di carta patterned. Purtroppo pubblicando il post mi sono resa conto di avere spiegazzato l'interno di un pannello laterale 😔... dovrò coprirli con carta patterned.
Le farfalle mi parevano troppo semplici per una carta patterned così affollata... allora ho timbrato dei fiori che riprendono quelli della carta usando due snippets, li ho tagliati con la fustella coordinata e li ho incollati sulle farfalle. Ho aggiunto Nuvo Drops rosso e Nuvo Glitter Drops oro per creare qualche dettaglio sulle farfalle. Non sono sicura che mi piaccia il risultato delle mie decorazioni a mano libera, ma ormai è fatta...

Morning Alice,
Hai creato un tripudio di adorabili colori estivi nella tua adorabile forma gatefuld. La Farfalla focale è ovviamente così carina con il suo torace ingioiellato e la dà davvero vita e ha così tanta consistenza.
È assolutamente perfetto per il nostro tema Allsorts di questa settimana, è così bello averti qui con la tua creazione speciale, graz.
