I did the die cutting first, cutting that large bloom from white card stock. It easily lined up inside the embossing folder, and after running it through my machine I was in awe of how pretty it was. Using blending brushes and Catherine Pooler Inks, I added some colour then knew I wanted to add it to a card right away. I spritzed it with Shimmer Spray for some shimmer & shine, and set it aside to dry.
The alcohol ink looking paper is a 12 x 12" pad from Michaels that I've had since last year and I adhered the papers to a 5 x 6.5" card base. Those cards and envelopes are also from Michaels and I've had them for years. I love that they came with envelopes in the perfect size.
Here I used the same patterned paper with the Butterfly Pop Up from Spellbinders. This time I didn't add the detail layer - just the solid butterfly layer and of course the butterfly body.
It's hard to see in the photo, but I stamped the sentiment on a scalloped circle, then added the stamped and die cut CHEERS. While they are both glued flat down, you still get some dimension from the look.
