Fluttering Butterfly Card | Newton’s Nook Designs

Hi there! It’s still pretty damp and gloomy here in the PNW so I’m pretending it’s spring in my craft room with a some Spring themed supplies from Newton’s Nook Designs.

I can’t take ‘design’ credit for this card, as I made it for a friend who texted me “butterflies, peacock color and ‘thinking of you’ sentiment”, did I meet her requirements? Let me know in the comments below!

Since there is no detailed coloring, this card actually took 30 mins to make from start to finish! I started by heat embossing the largest butterfly from the Monarchs Stamp Set in gold, then I ink blended them to add color using distress oxide inks (in twisted citron, salty ocean and wilted violet) and fussy cut them.

Then I inked up an A2 card base with the same colors, and also used the ink to ink blend the detailed stencil from the Butterflies Stencil Set. Then I dry embossed the second layer of the stencil to add some subtle dimension. For the sentiment, I die cut one of the banners from the Banner Trio Die Set from black card stock and heat embossed the ‘thinking of you’ sentiment from the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set.
