Retired Butterfly

When you create an unusual background, you can do just about anything to dress it up for the recipient. I added a fluttering butterfly to mine. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, Scrap, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Tempting Turquoise 5-1/4 x 4, Scrap

   Color Me Irrisistibly DSP 5 x 3-3/4

Ink:

   Baked Brown Sugar

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

   Sponge Brayer

Accessories:

   Butterfly Thinlits Dies

   Classic Label Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I added ink to the Color Me Irrisistibly DSP. I used a sponge brayer to apply some Baked Brown Sugar to the panel. This is an emboss-resist specialty paper. So, all I have to do is add the ink. I then wiped it down with a paper towel to allow the embossing to come through. 

*If you do not have this specialty paper then simply create your own: heat emboss a panel with white embossing powder. Then apply ink to the background and wipe down with a paper towel.

I then adhered the panel onto a Tempting Turquoise panel and then onto a Basic White card front.

Next, I stamped and punched a sentiment, using Teeny Tiny Wishes, the Classic Label Punch, and Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then die cut a Tempting Turquoise butterfly and attached it with glue dots. 

Next, I attached the sentiment to the top left of the butterfly, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the butterfly and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
