Soft Green Foiled Butterflies

As I search for inspiration for our new foiling products, I keep an eye out for interesting color combinations! This one caught my eye! I love aqua and teal colors! This one uses Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock! But, there is also some Coastal Cabana in the butterflies! I just LOVE the Swiss Dots for a sparkly background!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Lost Lagoon: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (Butterflies); 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for inside); 1 1/2" x 4" (sentiment)

To Make this Card:

Foil one White layer with Swiss Dots Hot Foil Die and Gold Foil.
Adhere Lost Lagoon layer, and foiled layer to folded Pretty Peacock card base.
Next, Hot Foil the Butterfly Flight Die in Gold Foil onto quarter sheet of White.
Color, using masks. Start with Coastal Cabana, a blending brush, and mask #1. Then, switch to Lost Lagoon with mask #2, and finish with Pretty Peacock ink and mask #3.
Now, you can die cut your "butterflies".
Select a sentiment to foil in Gold Foil. Die cut with corresponding die.
I decided to make this a "Landscape" card, so I started with the sentiment first. Then, added the largest butterfly, shaping it a bit with a bone folder! I then had to decide how many other butterflies I wanted to use. I chose the 2 smaller ones! I adhered them with a strip of Tear & Tape down the "body" center.
I finished the front with retired Tinsel Gems.
For the inside, after adding a White layer, I chose one of the remaining butterflies and added it to the inside. I saved the other for another project.
