Instructions: Card size is 5 3/4 x 4 3/4”. Score and fold an 8 1/2 x 11” sheet of white cardstock at 5 1/2”. Take the largest scalloped die from HCD2-7352 Large Butterfly Die and adhere on folded card base, extending the top edge of die over folded edge of card base. This will create your shaped card base.
Stamp the large butterfly image onto sheet 1B from the Floral Butterfly paper collection. Use Paradise Teal along the edges and Magenta Hue ink over the entire stamp. This will create a stamped image with beautiful hues of pink, purple and teal. Die cut using the same largest die with scalloped edge and adhere onto card base. Line foam strips along outside edge of butterfly, leaving no open gaps. Now sprinkle some Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear inside foam perimeter. Use same largest butterfly scalloped die to diecut clear cardstock and adhere onto foam strips.
Use this same largest butterfly die paired with the lacey overlay die to diecut a soft blue frame from the Floral Butterfly paper collection, sheet 1B. Place sentiment stamp onto acrylic block adjusting slightly to create a soft curve. Then ink only the first two words of the sentiment, ink with Magenta Hue and stamp on butterfly frame. Clean your stamp and this time only ink the last two, ink with Paradise Teal ink, then apply Magenta Hue on it, this will create a fun shade of purple. Stamp this on butterfly frame as shown. Use dauber to softly apply Paradise Teal along edges of frame.
Stamp one each of the two florals on white cardstock using Leaf Green for the foliage and Vibrant Fuchsia on one of the floral sprays and Paradise Teal on the other floral sprig. Color using Stack and Store Daubers along with Vivid Chartreuse and Leaf Green on the Foliage. Then add Magenta Hue on the pink flowers and Paradise Teal to the teal flowers.

Diecut lacey butterfly overlay on lavender paper from paper collection, sheet 3B, then also twice on white cardstock.

Instructions: My card size is 3 3/4" x 8 1/2". Make card base and cut a piece of purple cardstock to cover and then add a piece of the Floral Butterfly Paper collection for the next layer. I chose sheet 11B because I love the beautiful plaid!
Die cut the center of the Regal Lattice Gateway Die and glue down toward the top of the card. Cut a piece of Vellum to fit the bottom and stamp the sentiment using black ink. Glue this down using Dries Clear Adhesive and when it dries it will not show through the vellum. Tie a bow using the thread and glue to the corner of the vellum piece.
Stamp the Floral Butterfly Accents flowers using Rich Cocoa ink and color using various colors of ink and the Stack and Store Daubers. Cut out with the coordinating dies and glue to the lattice piece. I stamped the butterflies two ways. Onto white cardstock and then I stamped on vellum using the Frost White ink and embossed with white embossing powder. Color the butterflies stamped onto white cardstock and using their coordinating dies cut out and lay aside. The butterflies embossed onto vellum are cut out and then colored on the front so they will have a bolder look. I used several butterflies on the front of this card as I'm just in love with them.
The last thing I did was to dab dots of Dries Clear Adhesive and sprinkle with glitter. Now everything just sparkles!
