Just follow the three steps above to add them to your cart – good until 6/25 at 11:59 pm EDT.
Today I have 2! fun cards made from one panel using the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die for two totally different looks. I added some Distress Inks to Distress Watercolor Cardstock by building layers, adding some Distress Ink layers and drying the panel each time and adding more layers. I added some Gilded Foundry Wax splatter and white splatter to the panel then cut it out to leave me with all of those beautiful butterflies and the outline part of the panel. I explain each one in a little more detail below.
For my first card, I used the butterfiles cut out from the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer Die and adhered them to the card with foam squares. They have so much color, texture and splatter that they really stand out this way. To keep the card simple, I cut the CZ Design Love You die from Vellum and Matte Gold Cardstocks. This is a super simple and easy way to use up some of those inky experiment panels you may have lying around!
For the second card, I used the outline of the Billow Butterfly Plate Wafer die that I cut from the same paper and backed it with some black cardstock to make it pop. It was missing something so I used a gold gel pen to outline the inside of the butterfly shapes, adding it on extra thick. To finish the card, I added the CZ Design Here for You die cut from black and matte gold cardstocks.
I hope you enjoyed these cards! There is so much inspiration to be shared today and remember you have a chance to win a $25 coupon simply for leaving a comment — so be sure to hop around. Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh, my! This card just makes my heart sing! Normally not a butterfly gal, but you have transformed these into such a lovely work…..all the yummy ink layers, the subtle splatters and the brilliance of the gold. Not sure which one I like the best. You have highlighted the versatility of this die…….now on my shopping list. Thanks for the great inspiration!
