One Layer Beautiful Butterflies

Hi Friends!

I am sharing a Clean and Simple (CAS) card this evening that was designed using the brand new Beautiful Butterflies for the main image and the sentiment is from the Stamp Simply Words of Encouragement stamp set.

I like to participate with online challenges and will be linking this card to the AAA Cards #167 “One Layer Optional Twist:Inspired By The Graphic” Challenge.  

I love butterflies and have the brand new set, Beautiful Butterflies from Simon Says Stamp and thought it would be perfect for this inspiration photo.

I am also linking to the Time Out #163 “Proust Quote” Challenge ( I am grateful for so many friends that are blessings to me) and the Word Art Wednesday #442-#443 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

To create this card-

Ink the butterfly and sentiment with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the butterfly wings with a yellow and orange water-based marker.

Carefully stencil tumbled glass distress oxide ink around the butterfly using a stencil brush with a chevron stencil.

To finish off the card, use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the butterfly wings.

Stamp Sets: Beautiful Butterflies (Simon Says Stamp), Words of Encouragement (Stamp Simply)

Ink/Mediums: Versafine™ Onyx Black, Stampin’ Write Markers- Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist; Tim Holtz™ Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, Spectrum Noir™ Clear Glitter Pen

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by!  I will be posting my Design Team card for the new challenge at The Card Concept at 8 am this morning- hopefully you will be able to come back to check it out!
