Stitching Cut File 32 of 36: Butterflies

The 32nd of the 36 Cut Files for Stitching is Butterflies!

Design Team Member Valerie Bisson created this artistic page! She says, "I started with white cardstock and then added watercolors splattered all over the background. For the hand stitching I chose 8 colors to stitch with and repeated them down the page in a backstitch. Next I added two photos matted with Blooming Wild Paper 20 which gave a nice overall rainbow of color around the photos. I also used the same paper to punch out a whole bunch of tiny butterflies to scatter across the page. For embellishment and a title I used pieces from the Puffy Phrase Stickers, Journaling Spots, Sticker Book, Chipboard Stickers, and Cardstock Stickers. The finishing touch was the cute Flower Charms added to the centers of some of the stitched butterflies!"

Here is another layout made with today's Butterflies from the 36 Cut Files for Stitching by Guest Designer Malou Wagner! She says, "I decided to use all the colors of the rainbow as Zita loved being petted by everyone who came for a visit. Once all the butterflies were backstitched I cut out a sample butterfly so I could trace the butterflies on different papers matching the colors of the thread. For this I used Garden Shoppe papers and a paper from Bloom Street for purple. I attached the butterflies with French knots to add dimension. I glued the photo on two papers from Garden Shoppe and distressed the edges of the paper. I added journaling on a tag and also put a small title on the tag with mini alpha stickers from the 8-Page Sticker Book and a Foam Phrase Sticker. I finished by adding a few enamel dots here and there!"
