Hello everyone!! Stay tuned as I have several posts and videos coming back-to-back! I had some tech/internet/whatever issues the past few days and it's backed up everything.
Anywho - this card was for last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can see what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <------click! plus there's a ton of inspiration in that post from everyone who played along.
Here's what I made:
This is a 3.5 x 8.5" slimline card.
I created a smooshed-ink background using Distress Oxide inks on Ranger watercolor paper. I haven't done backgrounds like that in a while and EVERY time I revisit it I'm reminded of how fun it is to make!
For the butterflies and sentiments I used the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Butterflies set. It was a part of their June card kit that sold out before it arrived here - but like I said in the video: the kit and then the coordinating wafer dies that came out in the Send Happiness release arrived within a couple of days of each other. So it was perfect timing in the end lol!
I gold heat embossed one of the butterflies from the set onto vellum then used the coordinating wafer die to cut it out.
On the inside of the card I gold heat embossed another sentiment. I then stamped one of the smaller butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set all over the inside of the card and on the Audrey Blue Slimline envelope using the same Distress Oxides I used on the card front and that was it!
To see how this card and envelope came together check out my video below:
