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 :)
