I started off by ink blending some Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide ink onto Simon's 120lb Smooth White card stock. I added splatter with Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide spray that I mixed with a TEENY bit of Aged Mahogany Distress Ink Reinker (I explain the thought process in the video but I probably could have just used Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide Spray).
I then used one of Simon's Layering Hearts Stencils and Ranger's Asteroid Distress Glitter Gel:
CZ Designs Love Your Guts wafer die was used with Lawn Fawn Pencil Eraser card stock and then blended over with Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide ink to give it the ombré look. I then used Wendy Vecchi Pink Peony embossing powder to heat emboss a couple of the butterfly stamps from the Butterfly Kisses stamp set on vellum before die cutting them with the coordinating wafer dies. I also used the same embossing powder for the sentiment which is from the CZ Design Simple Sentiments 02 set.
On the insides of the cards I used the Layering Hearts stencil again and just blended the Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide ink over it, and stamped the same butterflies with the Aged Mahogany Distress Oxide ink and that was it!
