Growing In Unity - Day Two

Good morning!

Today I have a super cute card to share using two of my favorite Unity stamps: the butterfly & "because I care" sentiment.

To create the butterflies, I first stamped them onto Stamper's Select cardstock by PTI using Momento Ink. I colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out. I used Tombow glue (in the blue bottle) to cover each butterfly with a thin layer of glue. Then I sprinkled some clear Martha Stewart glitter over each butterfly. I let them dry for about an hour before attaching them to my card.




Here is a close up of the butterflies. I love this technique because the butterflies look like they have been covered in sugar and they are really sparkly.

Check back tomorrow for another project!

Erin.

    Love all the texture on this card, and you certainly made those butterflies 'pop' with the glitter! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Your butterflies are beautiful! I love how you glittered them. This card is totally gorgeous. I love the kraft paper and how you gave it such texture. The pattern paper trims are just the perfect compliment to this card!!
