Butterfly Brilliance (Watercolor wash)

Card #2 for our Stamp-a-Stack this month was this fun Butterfly closure card.

If we used the smaller butterfly for the closure, we simply added a larger vellum butterfly underneath first (the vellum CS was brayered/sponged in Gorgeous Grape)

To create the slit in the front of the card, we adhered the textured layer first, then punched the opening and adhered the cardstock punched shape back into the opening with mini glue dots... Here is a closer look of the inside of the card

The large butterfly is popped up on the punched shape, we used 4 mini dimensionals in the center to make sure it will stay on the card when pulled through the front...

Oh and the fun background, is a water-color wash... Simply get the watercolor paper REALLY WET, then use a stipple brush to apply 3 different inks, let dry and stamp over it..

Butterfly Brilliance

The butterfly brilliance bundle is so much fun to play with... I wanted to use the majority of the butterflies on the card, so I opted for a "long card"

I heat embossed the butterflies in black, then I spritzed the cardstock with water heavily and added re-inkers directly from the bottles to make the colors run

BTW, the lines behind the butterflies were created with the Simply Scored board... very easy!
