Video: Butterfly Birthday Card using Colored Stamping (+Ink Pad Organization Tips)

Are you a fan of butterfly? To be honest, I'm not. But I really wanted to play with   Butterfly Pair Stamp & Cut  as it includes very interesting dies in the set.

I started by stamping the butterfly images from   Butterfly Pair Stamp & Cut  and  Mason Jar Bugs   to create my own background.

Here are the Bold Ink pads I used for my colored stamping:   Tangerine ,  Mulled Wine ,  Strawberry ,  Dandelion  and  Summer Sky .

Then I colored the images with Copic markers and added some shimmer on the wings using Wink of Stella. It's a shame you can't see the wings shimmering with glitters. They are beautiful in real life.

After die cutting two butterflies using dies from   Butterfly Pair Stamp & Cut , the sentiment was heat embossed on a piece of yellow cardstock from   Sunshine Mix Layering Papers  using   white embossing powder .

I love that the dies cut wings only. It created some beautiful dimension and shadows under the wings. To finish off my card, I added some clear sequins.
