Butterflies from Hero Arts


This is a simple card - if you don't mind cutting out butterflies! This is a butterfly from a cling set by Hero Arts that is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder on a printed paper. This works well because now you do not have to color the butterfly. The base card is stamped with one of the large background images from Hero Arts. After the card was completed, I added some dots of Ranger Liquid Pearls randomly for a little extra effect. The flower is made by crumpling Bazzill cardstock BEFORE punching out a couple flowers. The only concern with this technique is that if you soften the cardstock too much, it sometimes likes to jam the punch, so the trick is to crumple it enough to get a soft effect, but not too much. I used a large flower punch. If you used a die to cut it, that concern will completely go away. I love to make flowers this way, as I can make as many as I need, in a huge range of colors.


Thanks for checking out the blog!
