CottageCutz Black & White Butterfly

Hello crafters.  Today I want to share with you a project I made with the beautiful Cottage Cutz dies.  These dies are so fun to work with.  For this card I used the Fancy Floral Butterfly Corner and the Filigree Butterfly Trio,
The Fancy Floral Butterfly Corner and Butterflies are real sparkly.  I painted the corners with glue and sprinkled with Martha Stewart Glitter.  It's hard to capture the details of this card but I ran the black card stock through a crimper and embossed the white middle band.
Black and White is always so elegant.  Don't you just love how lacy the corners look with this corner die.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope you have a wonderful craft filled day!  Here are the dies used:

Hi, Carol! Thoroughly enjoyed examining every 1/4" of your lovely, elegant, butterfly card. And yes, I DO love the lacy corners - beautiful! What catches my eye most is the way the butterfly wings have been shaped and "curled". Thanks for mentioning the crimper (I always always always forget to use it, and the texture adds so much dimension). The middle photo shows the crimping and dry embossing if enlarged (maybe you should enlarge that photo on your blog so everyone can see it? LOL) It really is quite striking, and I'm glad I did not overlook that. Must be gorgeous in person - and of course, ever (OH-SO-EVER) glittery and sparkly. I like how you manage to put in so many layers, especially around the edges, and then put some sort of lacy ornate die cut over it. Always so rich looking! Carol, may your Friday be sweet, and your weekend even sweeter, my friend! xo

This is utterly beautiful! I love the lace corners, especially against the black background & the butterflies just make the perfect companion to them. Awesome card!

Wow - the die cuts and colors on this are so elegant and beautiful! Amazing stuff and so well designed (of course). I think there may only be 40,000 layers on this one - LOL. Hugz - lots of them!

Hi Carol! I came over to see what you've been up to lately since I've been slack on my blog visiting because I've been out of town a lot recently. I knew I would not be disappointed in getting to see some gorgeousness on your blog.... this black and white card is absolutely stunning!!! All the die cuts are just so elegant! Hope you're having a great summer!
