Memory Box has introduced a flourish of 6x6 patterned paper packs and today's projects utilize Brandywine. Memory Box papers are acid free, lignin free, printed with soy based inks on paper from a certified sustainable forest program - and - are made in the USA.
A Martha Stewart butterfly punch was used for these projects, but your favorite punch could easily be substituted. The cohesive theme and colors of soft burgundy, brilliant orange and velvety golds removes all guesswork when creating - the papers complement each other effortlessly.
To give the butterflies' wings dimension, the wings were adhered with snippets of foam dimensionals, and each body with a mini Glue Dot.
The card bases for the above photos feature Arturo Italian stationery in Stone Gray. Arturo notecards and envelopes successfully capture a luxurious look and feel, instantly giving an air of quality to your creations.
Memory Box Dorian Border and Adele Corner were stamped with Jet Black Archival ink, then embellished with butterfly punches from Brandywine papers. Ellen's bling makes them even more eye-catching! The Arturo envelopes were lined as well.
More options: Using quality cardstock such as Neenah Solar White as a 5-1/2" square card base, Brandywine butterfly punches were added in grid fashion.
The above photo depicts the square card interior, and the elegant Memory Box Dorian Border swirl.
Miniature frames found at a local framing store's rummage bin were inserted with clear acetate cut to size, then Brandywine butterfly punches adhered and mounted shadow-box style.
