Butterfly Brilliance

Butterfly Brilliance was retired in April. This is a beautifully detailed stamp set with a wonderful set of coordinating dies. I actually created these cards before the set retired. I'm just behind in sharing my creations.

These 3 cards are all very similar. I started by stamping the large stamp with Memento ink onto Basic White cardstock.

Butterfly Brilliance

Butterflies are so stunning and delicate. I appreciate the craftsmanship that God has put into these marvelous creatures. With that admiration for these insects, I really enjoyed having Butterfly Brilliance at my finger tips. These images have many of the same details that God put into the creatures, making them absolutely stunning. Keep reading to see the surprise this card has to offer!

Butterfly Brilliance

Butterflies are such lovely insects. I love to see the different colors on them and seeing their flight paths is fascinating. You may have noticed that I tend to purchase all the butterfly stamp sets. Butterfly Brilliance was no exception.

This is a technique called Joseph's coat. I started with a piece of Basis White cardstock. I sponged Just Jade, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight onto the white cardstock. I then stamped the butterflies with VersaMark onto that cardstock and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then dragged the Night of Navy ink pad across the top of the cardstock. Then I used a tissue and wiped off the embossed areas so that the colors would come through.

I sponged the colors onto the rubber to create this card. I love the way this one turned out. The random colors all over are so pretty to me. The small butterfly is cut from the Sale-a-bration paper called Be Dazzling. Isn't that a great touch?

For this last card, I stamped the butterflies off to the right just a bit with Sahara Sand ink. Then I ran the cardstock through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. I sponged some Sahara Sand ink on the edges and ran the edges across the Memento ink pad so that just the edge of the cardstock would pick up the ink. You can see one of the dies on this card. They are intricate and stunning.

Do you love butterflies as much as I do? I hope you are inspired if you do!

Terracotta Tile

I did an In Color with the retiring colors from January-May. The May color is Terracotta Tile. You can't get this color any longer but you can substitute Calypso Coral and have a similar look. Terracotta Tile is a shade darker than Calypso Coral.

I started with this funky chicken from Hey, Chick. This set was a Sale-a-bration set a few years ago. Stampin' Up! re-released it with coordinating dies. There is also another stamp set and dies that add to the fun! I love the playfulness of this chicken. The floppy feathers on the top of his head is so perfect for this guy. I did stamp the Drybrush background on the Coastal Cabana layer.

The Ornate Garden designer series paper offers a fantastic background for the beautiful tulips. I'm so glad this set is hanging around for another year! I haven't played with it enough.

Finally, Butterfly Brilliance rounds out the cards for Terracotta Tile. I stamped the butterflies with Terracotta on Petal Pink. The die cut butterfly is covered with Wink of Stella and really stands off the paper in real life.

While some of the In Colors have gone away, we are welcoming 5 new colors to the collection! Be on the lookout as I'm getting ready for my latest In Color Club with Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, and Fresh Freesia. I will be making cards for these colors and sharing them here too!

Happy Stampin'!
