Hello friends! Today I'm sharing my card that features Spellbinders gorgeous Blooming Butterflies 3D Emboss & Cut Folder. These folders that not only emboss but also emboss and die cut extra elements in one pass are my absolute favorite products!
First I placed the included dies into their spots on the Blooming Butterflies embossing folder. Then I placed an 8-½" x 6" piece of 80# Neenah into the embossing folder. I ran it through my Platinum 6 die cutting machine and just marveled at the gorgeous embossed pieces!!!
To really show off the embossed details, I decided to try adding some sparkly texture paste to the embossing. I used my finger and barely dabbed it into the texture paste. Then I lightly rubbed my finger across the embossed piece. I repeated that until all of it was covered. I used Altenew's Rose Gold Shimmer Relief Paste. These Shimmer Relief Pastes are my absolute favorite! The colors are gorgeous and the pasts spreads like butter!
Before I closed up the Shimmer Paste, I took a palette knife and spread a fairly thin layer across a wide strip of white cardstock and set it aside to dry.
Next I set up my BetterPress with an A2 piece of Porcelain Cotton card. Then I positioned the sentiment, Copperplate Thinking Of You Press Plate and inked it up with a coordinating brown ink. I positioned the sentiment to be pressed into the lower left corner of the card.
I used glue to adhere the panel to an A2 card base.
I used my paper trimmer to trim the large Blooming Butterflies embossed piece to fit across the top of the card. Then I glued it to the card.
I made sure the texture paste strip was dry before I trimmed three narrow strips from it. I glued one strip to the top of the card and two at the bottom. I put just a bit of glue on the middle of the butterfly to adhere it to my card.
I added a few coordinating warm colored pearl stickers for a bit of embellishment.
I will add this beautiful card to my stash to use for a special person in their time of need. I hope you've found some inspiration today! Thank you, always, for stopping by!
