NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by selecting a piece of patterned paper from the TH Abandoned set and trimming it down with the A2 Postage Rectangles. I added a few rub-on transfers from a 49 and Market set along with some black splatter. I knew that I wanted some texture on the paper, so I pulled a TH stencil, mixed some Salvaged Patina paint with some Transparent Texture Paste. After applying the paste, I set that aside to dry while I worked on the butterflies.

I die cut the butterflies from Neenah and did some ink blending on those using Carnation, Zest and Ocean inks. The butterflies were assembled and I added the black bodies, as well as some polka dot details using a Copic Multiliner pen. For some added contrast, I cut the butterflies again using black cardstock and adhered those pieces to my colored butterflies using liquid glue.

The Scripty Hugs sentiment was cut three times from black cardstock and adhered together for that stacked sentiment that we all love! My panel was adhered to some black cardstock then adhered to the card base, the sentiment was glued in place and the butterflies were secured with foam tape to finish up.

This was a pretty simple card to make, because the patterned paper and texture paste are doing most of the work! I hope you enjoyed this project! Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to catch the hop and leave comments for your chance to win a Simon gift card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you have an awesome day!
