Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a butterfly card! I was inspired by Mrs. A's
Butterfly Challenge, the theme of which is G for Glossy Accents, paired with the optional colour Slate Blue. I used both! I die-cut the butterfly three times and layered for a 3-D effect.
The bottom layer is die-cut from vellum. The other two layers are heat embossed with three different silver embossing powders. I sprinkled on the embossing powders radiating outwards from the center. It's quite sparkly in person! The sentiment is heat-embossed as well.
Here are some photos showing the layering. Can you see the Glossy Accents? I added it randomly in droplets around the card. All products used are listed below.
- Clear stamps: Butterfly (Clearly Besotted Flight of Fancy) sentiment (Clearly Besotted Framed Sentiments)
- Ink: Versamark
- Embossing powders: The Artful Stamper Aegean Silver, Wow Metallic Silver Sparkle, Wow Iced Silver
- Dies; Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Square Frame, Clearly Besotted Flight of Fancy
- Other: Glossy Accents, Silver enamel dots from my stash

This is beautiful! Thank you for joining our Challenge a few weeks ago at Word Art Wednesday. We have a week left on our current Challenge and I hope you join us again. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word in Psalm 84:11 and it says, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Have a blessed week.
