For my card today, I used the new Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print along with a Butterfly Hero Transfer with the new Butterfly Fancy Dies. By stamping and heat embossing the bold print onto Hero Arts Black Watercolor paper, I was able to add shimmery watercolors to really make this card pop. The addition of be beautiful butterfly and sentiment make this cards so stunning!
For this card, I pulled the colors from the butterfly to make the background.
Here is the tutorial for today’s card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.
For my next card, I used the stamp Fluttering Butterflies Bold Print but this time I stamped it in three shades of brown onto the Colors Of The Earth cardstock. For an extra pop of interest, I used the Nesting Oval Infinity dies to die cut a oval into the patterned cardstock so I could add a sparkly gold frame. By also laying a sentiment from the Empowerment Stamp set and popping that up with a gold sparkly backer, this card is absolutely stunning!
Look how pretty those butterflies are.
