I seem to be into butterflies these days. LOL!!! Every time I turn around I'm using butterflies on another scrapbook page or card! Oh well...butterflies are great. I've been seeing a few more this year at the park so I think that is a good thing.
I got the inspiration for this card from a video I saw on Pinterest from Darlene Designs. I love her videos...she speeds them up and does audio over them. Anyway, her technique which I wanted to try was embossing with different colors on black cardstock. I've done different colors on white cardstock but thought it looked so striking on black.
Here is my card:
I used Bazzil Cardstock (the black), a piece of Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage printed paper, some white cardstock, Crushed Olive Distress Ink, Adirondack Lettuce and Zig White embossing powders. I used a deckle edge frame from a Spellbinders set and then traced around and cut it out on white cardstock to give a little mat to it. I also used the "Hey There" sentiment from Paper Trey Inks Fillable Frames #6. The butterfly stamp is from the Hero Arts Antique Engravings set. I tied some seam binding around it for a nice little bow. And that's about it. Pretty fast (for me!)
Happy Crafting!
Beautiful Card Susan... I hope you have a great day.

Like all things Butterfly including this card. The Butterfly has a pretty metallic look to it.
