Blooming Butterfly Card for Spellbinders

The Vivid Expressions collection is now in the shop at Spellbinders! I created with 3 different products from this release for todays card. I also used the blackout technique but with a twist! Scroll down and I'll tell you about. You'll find my supply list at the end, along with clickable shopping links!

If this is your first time visiting my blog, I tend to create first and measure later. This card measured in at a whopping 5 x 7.5 inches. You could easily trim off a bit to size down to 5x7. I did trim and score my own card, and also made a coordinating pink envelope using scrapbook paper from my stash and my We R Makers 123 punch board.

Typically when using the blackout technique, you color images on the flip side of your dry embossed cardstock, then swipe your panel with black ink. Instead, I went ahead and swiped my Blooming Butterflies embossed panel in black ink, then colored with my OLO Markers. 

I only used 2 markers - RV0.2 and OR4.4. Spellbinders sells these colors with marker sets and I've linked them in my supply list. If you prefer purchasing individual markers, you can get them from OLO Marker, here. 

If you caught my reel on social media earlier this week, I shared some bulk foiling with the Ideal Moments BetterPress plates/dies from the Vivid Expressions collection. My reel shows how to adhere negative foils to cardstock with adhesive spray. The tiny sentiment in the middle of my word dies is one that was included in my bulk foiling.

I also found some light pink cardstock from one of my older monthly card kits from Spellbinders that coordinated perfectly for the "Thank You", using the Vivid Script Sentiments. There are 20 dies in this set and well worth having in your craft room!

 

I also plan on sharing a 15 second reel on my social media showing how I applied the paint splatter on my elements, using my Spellbinders Splatter White. Also, I don't know if you noticed in my 3rd photo, but I used the Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder from the Timeless Trees collection on my black cardstock. I love the texture! Lastly, I glued some of the Spellbinders Pink Opalescent sequins to my card, although they reflect blue in some of my photos due to the lighting and angle.

Let me know if you have any questions that I can answer in the comment section. Have a great day!

Terri
