The butterflies and sentiment are heat-embossed in silver. I coloured with watercolour markers and then fussy-cut. The card measures 4 1/8" x 5 7/8" so not quite a standard A2, but this is the size of the pre-folded card bases packaged with envelopes that I found in my stash. I decorated the envelope by stamping the butterflies along the bottom as well as one on the flap. All products used are listed below.
- Clear Stamps: Butterflies (Uniko English Country Garden), sentiment (Clearly Besotted)
- Colouring medium: Watercolour with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers
- Embossing powder: The Artful Stamper - Silver
- Embossing folder: Darice Butterflies
- Die: Simon Says Stamp Wavy Scallop Stitches
- Card base/envelope: My old Dollarama stash
- Other: Glossy Accents
