Butterflies are always a firm favourite with card makers and I love to add them to my projects too.
This cards is created with items from my own collections and they are listed at the bottom of the page
All are available from Craft Stash and the butterflies them selves are stamped with Distress Ink onto Vellum in a soft Shaded Lilac
The Distress Ink stays wet for some time on the Vellum to give you the chance to add the embossing powder and heat set it.
Make sure that you get the heat tool really hot and bring it to the Vellum in short bursts so as not to burn or warp it in the process
With the pearl flourishes cut them into smaller pieces so that you can add them without getting tangled up ... and you only need small swirls for the butterfly trails any way
The result is a very delicate card and I was happy with the result at the end, and it made a very pretty birthday card for a friend
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
