Inlaid Butterfly card

Here is an inlaid butterfly card made using the pretty Brilliant Wings Dies and the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the inlaid butterfly card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Expressions in Ink dsp – 5⅞” by 4⅓
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3⅜”
Magenta Madness card – 5⅞” by ½”

The butterflies were die cut from the panel of Basic White using the Brilliant Wings Dies and my Cut & Emboss Machine. I set the die cut butterflies aside and ran the negative white panel back through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Bricks & Mortar Embossing Folder.

The strip of Magenta Madness was added to the embossed panel using liquid glue and then the panel was glued to the piece of Expressions in Ink designer series paper.

I wrapped a length of white Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Twine pack around the panel and tied it in a bow. The whole piece was then glued to the card front with liquid glue.

Mini Glue Dots were used to add each of the butterflies to the negative spaces, adhering only the body down, allowing the wings to rise.

I added a Gold Metallic Pearl to each of the butterfly bodies to complete the card.

I love the pop of gold you see with this gorgeous paper.
