Gorgeous Stenciled Butterfly Card in Autumn Colors

Happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing this card I created for a reel over on my Instagram.  If you would like to see it, just click that link!  It features Altenew's gorgeous Bountiful Butterflies dies and coloring stencils.

I used one of my most favorite color combinations, blue and orange, on this card!  I used Altenew's inks and blending brushes to color through the Bountiful Butterflies stencils.  The Glacier Caves inks make a beautiful deep sky blue background!

Before I removed the stencil for the blue layer, I added water drops for that bokeh look.  When I finished stenciling, I trimmed the piece to 4-¼" x 4" and adhered it to an A2 card base.

Next I die cut a butterfly with a Bountiful Butterflies dies from vellum.  I used the Bountiful Butterfly stencil to color it in the same colors I used previously.  The inks take a bit longer to dry, so I set it aside while I finished other elements.

I die cut the Handwritten Hello shadow three times from white cardstock and glued the layers together.  I inked up a scrap piece of white cardstock with Sapphire ink and die cut the top Hello die from that and glued it to the layers.

I blended Sapphire ink and Marigold ink onto white cardstock and trimmed a narrow strip from each to glue at the top of the white space.  Then I glued the sentiment and vellum butterfly in place.

For a bit of sparkle I added some Clear Gem Sparkles to the card.

I absolutely love how this turned out with the vibrant orange/yellow butterflies and the deep blue background!  I hope you do too!  Thank you so much for stopping by.
