I knew when I started stamping and clear embossing the butterflies on a watercolor paper panel that I was going to use a Kaisercraft Cardfront Butterfly die to cut the finished panel. Instead of Distress Inks, Zig markers were used to color the panel, with several colors blending and overlapping into each other.
You can seen the gloss on the embossed butterflies in the first photo of the finished panel. Anita talked about ironing off the embossing in her post and that's what I did here to get a matte finish on the panel.
Nine of the butterfly resist butterflies are adhered to a scalloped, stitched rectangle and layered on a similar colored panel to the one Anita used. The Avery Elle sentiment is stamped on the card base before the panel are set in place.
Here is Anita's beautiful card.
I am also linking this card to Seize the Birthday's Anything Goes challenge and Simon Says: Animal Magic at the Wednesday Challenge Blog.
Thanks for stopping by,

I love this, Jacquie. Such a great idea to emboss the butterflies then die cut with more butterflies, it's really effective.

This was a surprise, Jacquie, because I thought you'd use the panel as it was but cutting out the butterflies ended up making a terrific card.
ReplyDeleteUsing that colourful panel to produce these lovely butterflies was a fabulous idea - and created such a beautiful card!
