To make this card, I first collected all my dies that are what I call, the thin outlines dies. They are very dainty and are just full of possibilities. Here I have the Open Scroll Leaf by Impression Obsession, PoppyStamps Delaney Butterfly, and the Memory Box Rhone Butterfly. As you can see, they are by different companies so you can mix and match any of them that you have.
First, I made a frame using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and set that aside. I then die cut a couple of each outline dies in white card stock. I placed them inside my frame and glued one set very slightly where I wanted them. The next step is to use my Twinkling H2O's Thankful set, to color around the die cuts and the inside of the butterflies. The dies help me not to bleed too much outside of the lines, but I think that would be a cool effect too. I then removed the dies and glued on fresh white ones.
I also decided to add a sentiment which I stamped and heat embossed with Black Detail embossing powder onto Vellum. I wrapped the Vellum around the painted watercolor paper, and then popped up my frame with Joy! Small Foam Pads to hide the seams.
I hope you like it and that the pictures were helpful!
