Hello friends, I'm back today with another card I created for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 1 die cut launch. Today's card features the AAAAAH-mazing Tattered Butterflies Bigz die. I am absolutely CRAZY over this die and cannot wait to use it more. I love that it is a solid die with lots of space to add mediums, patterns, or showcase a design within the butterfly design. The two sizes are perfect. I used the smaller butterfly for this card. I wanted to make something very vintage and built a base with various Tim Holtz Paper Stash pages, tissue tape and ephemera.
I cut the butterfly three times and inked with Distress Inks, then stamped with one of Tim's text stamps (from Entomology I think) then mounted them together with lots of foam between the layers, curling the wings for extra dimension. I stitched the top butterfly down the middle with a zig zag stitch, then repeated the stitching around the card base.
Make sure to check out all of the amazing new dies on Tim's post HERE and visit Sizzix.com to purchase your favorites. Hugs, Autumn

Love, love, LOVE this card! The colors speak to me, and that butterfly is simply stunning! Your stitching detail is the icing on the cake! Now, I did get this die, and am looking forward to using it. Thank you for the inspiration, dear friend!
I do love this card Autumn, those simple central stitches add the most magnificent detail. Less really is more. I'm holding out on this die as I have so many Butterfly die's but i'm sure it will fly into my basket at some point hee hee!!
Thank you so much for sharing another beauty.
