I love watching the videos at Lily Pad Cards. I saw one a few days ago and thought I'd like to scraplift it. You can see the original version HERE. I put my own spin on it....added a butterfly and inked my mat but I loved the inspiration I got from the video. I also stamped my images and then die cut them...I think that was an easier route...at least for me. The card base and mat were cut out with Spellbinder dies.
I used Broken China Distress Ink to give the mat a little color. The butterflies were colored and shaded a bit with Copics. The mat is mounted on foam tape and then the little butterflies are glued into the die cut openings and folded a bit for a lift.
The whole thing took me less than 30 minutes. I think I will make a few more to keep on hand!

This is wonderfully colored and dimensional with the Butteflies popped up. Like all things Butterfly (you can tell since I posted 3 Butterfly blog posts today). Happy Memorial Day!
