Hello creative and crafty friends! Happy Monday, I mean Tuesday! It sure feels like Monday though! Ha. Hope you had a nice long weekend and official kick off to Summer. We stayed home the entire weekend…. We have so much to do around here and I have lots of projects to get made and photographed. We've had lovely weather and we're now ready for the season to change. I hope you are doing great!
Today's card is finally an idea from my head getting made! Yeah for that! Have you seen the GORGEOUS washi tapes from Pinkfresh Studio? I've made lots of cards with them before here on my blog. They are so amazing and lovely to work with. Everything from PFS is simply the highest quality!! I got the Butterflies Washi suite a few weeks ago and been dying to use it!! So, my card features those pretty butterflies…. Let's get to it!
My finished card is an A2 size white card base….layered with some mossy green paper from my stash, and then another layer of white cardstock. The butterflies are the star of the show here….
If you've never used the PFS washi tapes – they are so cool and easy! It's a giant roll of washi printed with the gorgeous design (butterflies)…. You roll the washi onto cardstock of any color (I used bright white) and then press it down really good. The matching dies cut out ALLLLL the design at ONE time! So, with one pass, I got like 15 butterflies, and the leaves too.
I stamped and die cut two of the Floral Envelopes dies for my butterflies to come flying out of. I affixed the envelopes to the card with foam tape. Then I arranged all the leaves and butterflies in rainbow order. I tucked some of them inside the envelope. Wouldn't you just love to open a card and have butterflies come flying out?!
Here's my side view. You can see that the washi tape elements are accented with beautiful gold….and the colors are vivid and clear.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder. I stamped on vellum – and then die cut the banner with the matching dies. (All my supplies are listed at the bottom of my post)
For my finishing touch, some splatters of gold ink, and pretty gold glitter drops!

WOW This is soooo pretty! I have never seen that washi tape…thank-you for introducing me to this idea! When you let us know that you had lots of projects on the go I got sooooo excited!!!!!
Gorgeous! I’ve been waiting for the whole suite of items all to be available at once before I order. I don’t like ordering one item from this company and another from this other company. Your card is beautiful!!
