BIG BUTTERFLY CARDS

Hello people!!
How are you all doing.I am here today with two cards,its been quiet a long time since i made a card i guess..i was totally hooked on making mini albums.It feels so good to make cards after long time,according to me card making has lots of scope to learn more and try different techniques than anything else,whats your opinion?

    My first card is base on this week CASE study challenge.I just loved the negative die cutting and the colorful alphas in the card.Here is my take,this is my first time using negative die cutting.The papers are from simple stories- vintage bliss.Its a pure bliss to use those paper i must say,i completely loved them.The chipboard stickers is also from the same collection.I have cut the butterfly using silhouette..best thing about it is you can cut the same design in different sizes.I have cut them in quiet a big size,about 41/2 inches.I have also used a punched out border and little of wood grain paper.Love how it turned out.
 


Here is my second card using the same negative die cut butterfly in a different size.I just loved to use bigger size butterfly in my card, and using it as a main element instead of using as a embellishment.I also have another card using the postive..have not finished it yet,will share it later.
   The paper is from prima romance novel..a super hit paper pad in recent days i guess.I completely love them and love the vintage look of the card it gives.Again some punched out border,seam binding ribbon,mulberry roses,ticket sentiment and decorative pin to finish the card.
