Embossed, stencilled and diecut butterflies highlight a special moment. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a combo of butterfiles ready to celebrate in shimmery shades of turquoise, green and purple.

Cut the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with the 3″ x 4-¼” Basic Rectangles die. Pressure-emboss it with Butterfly Coterie Collage.
Stencil the embossed butterflies with the Butterfly Coterie Stencil and Distress Oxides – skip the two that will be hidden by the Ava Butterflies. Ink colors used here – wilted violet, cracked pistachio and salvaged patina.
Blend the same inks – plus twisted citron – on a strip of watercolor paper. Spritz and splatter it with Imagine’s Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Airdry the ink for a few minutes, then heat-set it. Cut it into 2 strips and lightly ink the edges with Cracked Pistachio.
Cut Ava Butterflies from the turquoise and purple 6×6 sheets in the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad. Attach them with foamdots.
Stamp the greeting – from the Poppystamps Art Deco Birthday Greetings Clear Stamps – on watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black. Dry the ink, then trim it with the smallest Banner Sentiment Trio die.
Attach everything to an A-6 (4-½” x 6-¼”) Cream Woodgrain Paper card – use foamdots for the greeting.
Add Winter Fantasy Fairy Gemstones. Cut an A-6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Butterflies are great for any occasion. Emboss, stencil and diecut them in coordinating colors – or a lively mix of inks and papers.
