Die Cut Butterfly Ombre Background - Many Messages

 Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you two cards using the butterfly Ombre background that I gave everyone a sneak peek of on Tuesday, during my Facebook Live.  The technique that I used today to create the background panel on my card is a great way to use up some of your scrap cardstock you may have.  Here's a look at the two cards that I created using this one technique.

For my Card today I used the Curvy Christmas Stamp Set, the Curvy Dies and the Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper that are part of the Quite Curvy Release. The Curvy Christmas Stamp Set will allow you to create one-of-a-kind Christmas crafts!  I love the how the sentiments and the some of the imagery has the curves to match the Curvy Dies.  Plus there are so many other images in inside that will allow you to create anything that you would like.  The curviness of these images will make for a fun little holiday element on any project.

I used the the Dainty Diamond 3D Embossing Folder as an accent on my card today; it was the perfect texture to add to the card without taking away from the curvy flow going on.  I embossed a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Shaded Spruce with the Dainty Diamond 3D Folder and added it to the card base with just a little Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

Next I used my Stamparatus to stamp both the sentiment and the star border from the Curvy Christmas Stamp Set onto a 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce Ink and the Stars in Crushed Curry Ink.  I picked my colors not only from the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper but I through in the Crushed Curry because it's a great compliment to the festive colors going on with my card today.

After stamping the sentiment and star border I cut a 2" x 5 1/4" strip of the Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the stitched Curvy Die from the Curvy Die Set.  I attached this layer to the Whisper White layer with some Stampin' Seal and popped the entire panel up on my card with a lot of Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish off my card I added a few of the Star Designer Elements to the star border going along the side of the Whisper White layer.  This added a little more texture to the card and a nice metallic element.
