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.

Framed Violet and Foiled Swiss Dots

I saw a similar sample using the Impressions dies along with the Framed Violets dies. Of course, I added my own twist and added gold foiled Swiss Dots on Secret Sea cardstock and the Shimmering Stripes DSP for the center of the label. This is actually a really clean & simple card!

Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1/2" x 3 7/8" strip, 2" x 3" (label), scrap
Peaceful Pine (N): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", scraps
Secret Sea: 3 7/8" x 5 1/4"
Fresh Freesia: scraps
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Violet Dreams (N)(OE): 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" (Secret Sea print)
Shimmering Stripes DSP(N) (OE): 2" x 3" (inside label)

To Make this Card:

Add Peaceful Pine layer to folded Gorgeous Grape card base.
Hot foil Secret Sea layer in Gold Foil with Swiss Dots die. Adhere to front of card.
Also, add Violet DSP to the top of the card.
Adhere the Grape strip to the front, over the "seam".
Die cut label from Phrases & Frames Impressions die. Then, go back and run it through, again, with the Impressions mat.
Add to front of card, over Grape strip, with Dimensionals.
Die cut center oval from Shimmering Stripes DSP. Stamp with sentiment of your choice in Secret Sea Ink. Blot ink. Then, add to center of "label" with Dimensionals.
Next, die cut flowers in Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Freesia. Die cut all 3 leaves in Peaceful Pine.
Arrange die cuts onto front of card as shown.
Embellish flowers with Adhesive-Backed Blooms. I also added a small Freesia bow.
Finish the inside with layer of White. Add die cut leaves and flowers as desired. Center of flower was a Basic Rhinestone.
