Before I get into the cards I created for you today, I wanted to highlight a special code for a free Gina K Designs Dot runner...just use the code GLUE with your order. This promotion will expire on 8/9 at 11:59 pm EDT.
Today I have a trio of cards for you featuring the brand new Detail Meadow Butterfly Die...each with a different look. I hope you'll find one that suits your style...
For my first card, I created a slimline card with metallic butterflies. I cut the Detail Meadow Butterfly Die from rainbow colors of the Tim Holtz Metallic cardstock in Confections and and arranged them on my card using foam tape and added a greeting from the Greetings Mix 2 stamp set.
For my second card, I cut the Detail Meadow Butterfly Die out of Distress Watercolor cardstock and painted it with DIstress Ink Reinkers. I finished the card with a CZ Design Reverse Happy Sentiment Strip.
For my 3rd card, I cut the Detail Meadow Butterfly Die out of and used the new pastel and metallic colors of Dina Wakley Media Gloss Spray to create shiny acrylic butterflies to add to my card. I created a background using the new Crackle cling stamp, and also lightly stamped the words from the Good Reading cling in Antique Linen and added some splatter to it. To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Greetings Mix 1 set.
Which one is your favorite? Let me know below :)

so it was your butterfly cards that sucked me into the hop. these were so beautiful, so amazing, and so stunning, I had to look at the products. I guess it worked, huh? lol
Posted by: Cindyellen Robinson | August 07, 2020 at 08:57 PM
All of your cards are creative and lovely, but for my favorite, I'd have to pick the third one. The good read over the crackle really fills that background and provides a beautiful contrast to the the spattered teal butterfly-- goegeous!! Thanks for sharing your creative talents and inspiring me to try something 3 ways. Be well.
Posted by: Julie Wexler | August 07, 2020 at 09:31 PM
They are all wonderful; I'm torn between the first and third for a favorite!
Posted by: Karen Walker | August 07, 2020 at 09:37 PM
All three of your cards are awesome, but I really love card #2. Such a pretty card! I'm loving this new release so much!
Posted by: Mary Reiner | August 07, 2020 at 10:15 PM
Gorgeous cards! Beautiful butterflies!
Posted by: Marisela Delgado | August 07, 2020 at 10:25 PM
It’s too hard to pick a favourite! I thought you had used alcohol inks on the card with the Reinkers. It’s good to know the style can be replicated with what I have!
Posted by: Giselle | August 07, 2020 at 10:33 PM
Such gorgeous cards, love all the vivid colors!
Posted by: Kailash | August 07, 2020 at 10:35 PM

Posted by: Maureen McDonough-Reiss | August 07, 2020 at 11:36 PM
After seeing these beautiful cards, I think I need the butterfly die. i have to admit the card with the butterflies cut from the metallic card stock is my favorite.
