Pretty Pink Posh - Spring Release 2024 - Ombre Butterflies Card!

Hello lovelies!! Are you having a good week!? Spring is springing and rolling along and it's just a couple of weeks until Easter! Hope you're doing great!! The new release from Pretty Pink Posh continues this week with an Instagram Hop and I wanted to share my card with you here. If you're on Instagram, make sure to stop by my post and leave a comment for a chance to win a PPP gift certificate! Woot! The new release is full of everything perfect for Spring! And we're all ready for it, aren't we!? I shared my other PPP new release projects last week - so please check out those cards too! (Easter cards)

My card for the Instagram Hop features the brand new Stitched Butterflies Dies and the brand new Eyelet Circles Dies! I used the previously released Beautiful Butterflies stamp set for the perfect sentiment! My finished card is a 5" x 5" square card using a white card base. I layered teal and then more white... Because I really wanted the butterflies to pop off the page!

Here's a side view of my layers and gold embossing on the sentiment...

To make the butterflies, I die cut them out of white cardstock. I used pretty, vivid shades of teal, yellow and coral to make an ombre effect with inks and blender brushes. After the inking dried, I splattered on gold paint! The butterfly centers are gold cardstock.

I attached the butterflies to the card using thin strips of foam tape only in the centers! This way, I could gently lift up the wings of the butterflies with my fingers to make it look like they're flying off the card!! I used three colors of ink on each butterfly and left just a bit of white at the bottom of each one - for a true color filled ombre! (All the supplies and ink colors are listed at the bottom of my post today!)

I heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing on a pretty eyelet circle.

I added a few gems and jewels in colors to match the butterflies and add a bit (more) of shimmer!

Okay friends! That's it for today's post! I'm wishing you a very happy day. See you soon! Be sure to create something today and remember to have some laughs too! Crafting and laughter are good medicine!
