I've fallen in love with all the recent butterfly products that have recently came out and my shopping has reflected it! I've also decided that when I'm really happy with a card and I haven't put on a sentiment - I'm ok with that.
Today's card uses the Tim Holtz Mini Detailed Butterflies. I die cut them with a white heavy card stock and generic black card stock using my mini die cut machine (Side Kick). I actually sat on the floor and had a little desk set up with my Tonic Travel Glass Mat and die cut while watching a show on tv with the family.
Using Tombow markers I "loosely" colored on white with vibrant colors, knowing that a black outline die cut would be glued on top and hide imperfections. Which is exactly what I did next using HoneyBee Creative Precision Tip Glue. They went together really quickly and I ended up making lots of them.
The background was made with a sizzix embossing folder that had been inked with a brayer and a mix of Lucky Clover and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks. I ran that through my Gemini Jr and proceeded to assemble my card. I've found I have better luck using score tape to attach my embossed piece to the card base.
My colorful butterflies and pearls (from my stash) were attached with glue.
