Nordic Bundled Fox

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! I wanted to remind you to join us for this month's challenge at Poppystamps - "On Butterfly Wings". We want to see designs that include butterflies! You can link your designs to any on line gallery like Instagram. When you link your design you're automatically entered to win the monthly prize - a $20 gift card to the store! You can always find the latest challenge on the Poppystamps Blog by clicking the challenge blog badge in the upper right hand corner.

I thought I'd make a scene card because those are always my favorite. I started by assembling the Nordic Bundled Fox, Nordic Sweeping Branch and Nordic Long Stem Mushrooms. I arranged them on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base and arranged them until I was happy with the design. Because all the pieces are on a clear sheet I can slip different backgrounds underneath and move the entire design easily.

I added a background of patterned paper from the Poppystamps Birthday Fun 6x6 pad. One side of the pad is foiled and the other side is printed. I love the foil but it doesn't always photograph so well so I kept it plain.

If you look close you might notice that I altered some of the die cuts. I felt that the leafy branch didn't allow enough room for the butterfly so I snipped it, added the butterfly and then added the cut piece under the other side of the butterfly. That extended the die cut so that there are leaves on either side of the butterfly. I also cut the branch from the Mini Forest Plants die set. Don't be afraid to alter your dies, or let their original size limit your design!

The finishing touch is a simple foil sentiment strip from Memory Box. Easy Peasy! I hope you'll join me this month playing along with the On Butterfly Wings Challenge! We love seeing what you make!
