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.
