I am up on the Birch Press Design blog today with this card using the Genevieve Butterflies craft dies.
For my card today I started by watercolouring a soft spring background of green and yellow Distress Inks. You can easily use any ink to create a watercoloured background by smooshing your ink pad on to a craft sheet or acrylic block and adding water to it. Once the background was done I let it dry for a minute and then flicked some green ink on to it and set it aside to dry completely.
While waiting for my background to dry I die cut a bunch of the Genevieve butterflies in various colours using Genevieve Butterfly A, Genevieve Butterfly B and Genevieve Butterfly C. Once die cut they were adhered together. I did not use the antennae from the Genevieve Butterfly C this time.
I chose three different colour families, using the darkest colour for the Genevieve Butterfly C.
Once the background was dry it was adhered it to a card base with foam adhesive tape and then the butterflies were adhered to the panel in a random order to emphasize movement. A sentiment from Close to the Heart was stamped with VersaMark ink on the watercoloured panel and embossed in silver. Finally a few clear, Stickles filled sequins were added to the panel.
I have an extra set of the Genevieve Butterfly dies so I think it is time to do a giveaway to one lucky winner. Leave a comment here on this blog post for your chance to win.
