Beautiful Butterflies Die Card Sample

I received this beautiful card in the mail from my new upline, Tami Waddell. I was quite surprised to learn that my upline, Michelle Kolb, decided to drop out of Stampin' Up! in January, so now Tami is my next available upline. Michelle introduced me to the wonderful world of Stampin' Up! and that forever changed my life! I was sad to learn that she decided to drop out. Thank you, Michelle, for the fun times we had together - and just because you're not my upline anymore, you'll always be someone who I truly respect and love and I'm hoping that we can stay in each other's lives! Thanks to Tami for this beautiful card. It is lovely, I appreciated receiving it, and I look forward to working with you!

Isn't this nice? It just softens you and quiets you down when you look at it -and sometimes I need that! I got this card idea from Carolyn Gray, a member of The TOPICS! When she made her butterflies, she used clear embossing powder, but I used white embossing powder. Either way, it comes out so nice. You emboss your butterflies with white or clear embossing powder, then sponge whatever colors you want on your butterflies. The embossed part resists the ink so it stays white there. You can wipe away any excess ink on the embossed parts to make it show through even whiter - and it just turns out so nice and soft. You can make the butterflies really bright simply by changing your ink color choices, but I like the soft pastel look of this. Hope you like it, too!
