Double D - Butterflies

Dear Ones~

Seems like forever since I have posted here on my blog. Summer has been busy.....and there is always the Covid lurking about. Today's offering is for the Double D Challenge. The theme this time is BUTTERFLIES!!! Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

And here is my card:

I had a lot of fun making this card. My dear friend Ina shared a card she had made with this awesome background technique. She got her inspiration from THIS tutorial on YouTube. I just had to try it. But I took it one step further. After the initial embossing with various metallic powders, I put a couple of layers of clear powder over the entire panel. Then I sprinkled some WOW Metallic Gold Ultra High granules on top and heated those. They melted into the clear layer and gave a wonderful speckle effect. The background is super shiny. I got my inspiration for the butterfly from the beautiful Monarch in the photo.

The Ingredients:

GKD Black Card Stock

IO Rose Leaves Background Stamp

GKD Silver and Black EP

Ranger Copper and Clear EP

WOW Metalic Gold Ultra High EP

HOTP Art Nouveau Butterfly Stamp

HOTP Art Nouveau Butterfly Die

Stash Gold Card Stock
