Karin’s Gorgeous Butterflies!

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

Karin shares a lovely Spring design based on our Card Sketch! I hope it will inspire you to join the challenge!

Karin started by using the Just Stitching Hearts dies to create the pretty pattern on the Storm Cloud panel! It’s such a simple step but it adds so much detail!

Using a stamping tool like a MISTI, Karin first stamped the Flutter By butterflies in Jellyfish Copic-friendly ink on white cardstock. She left the stamp in the MISTI while she colored the butterflies in beautiful Spring color combinations. Then she returned the butterflies to the MISTI to stamp them once again with Clear Embossing Ink and emboss them with gold embossing powder!

Thanks for sharing this fun technique with us today, Karin! Your card is so gorgeous!

Check out the Card Sketch challenge and join the fun! This challenge is open until Sunday, April 19th at 11:59PM ET.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
