This week at the Global Design Project we are casing the designer Tanja Solar from Germany.  I have used the Butterflies Thinlits Dies as Tanja using the dragonfly in her beautiful card.    You must pop over to take a look at her lovely blog as she is super talented.  We are currently both in Thailand enjoying the Stampin’ Up! Incentive trip together 🙂

I kept my card pretty simple this week and added lots of layers and textures.

How I made my Card

• I cut a rectangle from the Foil Frenzy Speciality DSP and die cut the detailed butterfly using the Butterfly Thinlits.
• I punched a piece of Pool Party card with the Ticket Tear Border Punch and layered it underneath the foil frenzy rectangle.
• I cut a length of Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon and glued and stapled it to the foil frenzy rectangle.
• I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor Wings stamp set onto white cardstock in black ink and cut into a rectangle.
• I die cut a fancy strip from the Flourish Thinlits in Island Indigo cardstock.
• Everything was layered up onto my whisper white card base.
• I then added glue to the body of the butterfly and secured it into the die cut space to hold it to the card but left the wings to move freely.
• A few rhinestones and it was complete.

Here is the lovely card we are casing this week from Tanja Kolar.
