Challenge #204..Rainbows and Butterflies with CAS-ual Fridays!

Hi everyone and welcome back to our next Friday Challenge for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!! This is another fun one..

Rainbows and Butterflies!!! Yay!!  This just screams pretty, bright and cheerful projects!! First off, let me tell you that I do not own a CAS-ual Fridays stamp or die set that has a butterfly in it. But no worries! I'll show you how I overcame that little obstacle.

I created a panel using the second largest Bubble Box Fri-Die. I created a mask by running that same die as well as one size smaller together through my die cutting machine. This created a frame mask.  I used Tattered Rose Distress Ink to add some colour to the background.  I stamped that gorgeous floral image from the Truth Is Stamp set. Once directly onto the panel and once onto some white cardstock where I could colour and use the co-ordinating Fri-Dies to cut the flowers out. That's where I incorporated the "rainbow".

I adhered the flowers by using the dies and fun foam. I didn't want any of the stamped image underneath showing which is why I didn't use foam tape.

To create the butterflies, I used the hearts from the Fun-Fetti Fri-Dies set. I coloured each heart and adhered them together to form the shape of a butterfly. I drew on the bodies and the antennae as well as a few dots and dashes.  

I glued the Bubble Box panel directly onto a light pink cardbase, added a bit of sparkle and called this one done!!  I hope you found a little inspiration :)
