For my first card, I stamped several delicate butterflies onto watercolor paper using clear embossing ink. After heat embossing with clear powder, I used some of my favorite Fresh Dye Inks to infuse vibrant hues into each winged beauty. Once dry, I fussy-cut the butterflies and arranged them upon an A2-sized card base, adding dimension with foam tape for an enchanting effect.
Onto my second creation! With black pigment ink, I stamped two beautiful butterflies alongside a heartfelt sentiment onto another sheet of watercolor paper. A sprinkle of clear embossing powder ensured crisp lines, allowing the colors to pop. After a gentle dance of water and ink, the butterflies came to life with soft, ethereal tones. Layered atop aqua and purple cardstock, the watercolor panel became the centerpiece of an elegant card, accented with charming Sweet Dreams enamel dots for a touch of whimsy.
