I'm on a bit of a rainbow kick this month - and a rainbow background often means I can go monochrome on the focal point!

Butterfly thanks for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card using dies and an embossing folder from Paper Rose Studio

I started with the Handstitching 2 embossing folder and some white cardstock. I then blended some distress oxide inks over the panel, cut it down and adhered it to a white card base. I cut the butterflies from some more white cardstock and blended some pink ink to the tips of the wings, and cut the Hand Lettered Thanks word die and blended it with purple and blue ink. I adhered these to the embossed panel, and finished with some bubble bath embellishments.

Bronze butterfly for Paper Rose

 I have a quick card to share for Paper Rose today. 

I started with a panel of Yupo that I added some cobalt blue alcohol ink and bronze coloured alcohol ink alloy to. I cut the butterfly die from Paper Rose from some metallic bronze cardstock from my stash, then added it with a sentiment to the centre of the card. I then stuck the whole panel to a white card base.

Fusion: Butterfly

Welcome to a new challenge at Fusion!

I followed the photo inspiration quite literally for this card - I used the large Swallowtail Beauty butterfly stamp from Picket Fence Studios and coloured it with a variety of blue Zig markers and water. I flicked some blue into the background, too, before flicking Perfect Pearls in water over the whole panel. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation!
