![]() Now, if these butterflies look familiar, that is because they are the same ones used in the Multi-Step Butterflies set, only bigger! I’ve always wished I could have these lovely butterflies larger, and today is the day! The largest butterfly image (fully opened) in this set, Butterfly Kisses, is approx. I think butterflies are the perfect symbol of hope and uplifting encouragement, plus they can come in a rainbow of colors! What could be more cheerful?! Plus, is it possible to have too many butterflies? I wanted a set that would also be versatile and go with other stamp sets one may already have in stamp collection and could be used for all types of cards of encouragement! Seems like 2022 has been the kind of year where more encouragement is needed worldwide! □ ![]() If you shop the links, THANK YOU!

I trimmed the greeting down and blended Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide around the edge. I scrunched the trims up and began blending it with the greens to form a nest. I cut a couple twigs from the Feather and Raven set and blended them with a variety of brown distress inks. I then trimmed off some pieces of scrap paper with my Tonic Paper Trimmer…it’s amazing how fine it can trim! I added berries to a couple of the greens with Tonic Nuvo Drops in Pale Gold and before they were set, sprinkled them with Clear Rock Candy Glitter. I cut a few greens from the Holiday Greens Mini and Garden Greens sets and blended them with a variety of distress inks, and embossed them with clear embossing powder and some Recollections Opaque Bling on the tips. Then I used a piece of scrap watercolor paper and embossed the Christmas Greeting with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder and blended it with Weathered Wood Distress Ink. With my sewing machine and cream thread, I randomly stitched around the mat. I trimmed it down, blended a bit of Frayed Burlap around the edge and matted it to a piece of green cardstock. Then I stamped the typography background stamp from Entomology (CMS328) with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide, then embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then colored it with my Detail Waterbrush and a variety of Distress Inks. I stamped the bird image onto a Mixed Media tag with Black Soot Archival Ink. I also stamped the music again and embossed it with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. ![]() Then I decided to add a bit of Weathered Wood Distress Ink to give it a more wintery look. Then I blended several colors of Distress Inks (Old Paper, Frayed Burlap, Old Paper Oxide, Antique Linen Oxide, and Frayed Burlap Oxide) onto the background and spritzed with water, dried and added smooshed bits of ink. Then I added a bit of the Tim Holtz Ornate background (CMS348) with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide, spritzed with water, stamped and dried with my heat tool. I stamped the music stamp by inking up the stamp with Old Paper Distress Ink, then spritzed it with a little water and then stamped it twice and dried it with my heat tool. ![]() Here is the card that I created with this EXCLUSIVE set.įirst I started by creating the background on Watercolor paper.
