Hello!
Playing along with this Seize the Birthday challenge (ends 3/10)
and this Classic Design Anything Goes with Optional Twist:
Blooms or Butterflies challenge (ends 3/12)
I tracked this die cut butterfly down in another state a few years back, when it went on sale, because the store (Joanns RIP I miss you!) here had run out of them. I was, and still am, in love with the ginormous size of it, and the incredible detail.
After embossing the brick wall I just trimmed it down a bit and distressed the edges. To get the gradient on the butterfly I ink blended Distress Oxide inks onto white cardstock (to do it after cutting would risk tearing the skinny sections). Dots were cut from the leftover butterfly panel and embellished with a few flat back rhinestone gems. Words and the top wing were foam mounted. Word strip is preprinted. Birthday word is much sparklier in real life - but photo-ing after midnight so… LOL
