This colorful butterfly card was created with Stampin' Up!'s Watercolor Wings stamp set and one of the dies from their Butterflies Thinlits (both are retiring May 31, 2018 or while supplies last).  It is a new stamp set for me and I'm looking forward to making many more cards with it. The butterfly was stamped once on the card and then a second time on a scrap of Whisper White CS.  The butterfly that's on the top was die cut and then layered onto the other - applying glue only to the body of the butterfly so the wings could "flutter".  

Materials Needed:

Stamp Set:  Watercolor Wings
Dies: Butterflies Thinlits Dies
Inks: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim, Chocolate Chip
Card Base:  A2 card (Folded Size 5-1/2" W x 4-1/4" H)

Whisper White Top Mat:  (5" W x 3-3/4" H)
Scrap of Whisper White for 2nd Butterfly
 Paper Cutter, Tombow Glue, Stamparatus (optional)

Directions:

Cut all the mats per list.
--Stamp 1st Butterfly on the Whisper White CS mat as indicated (do not stamp the body of the butterfly on the card stock).
--Stamp 2nd Butterfly on the scrap piece of Whisper White CS.
--Stamp the Sentiments, and dots on Whisper White CS mat as indicated.
--Use the appropriately sized Butterfly Thinlits to die cut the 2nd butterfly
--Glue the 2nd butterfly on top of the 1st butterfly (body section only) using Tombow glue and then fold up the wings for fluttering effect.
--Attach White Mat to Bermuda Bay Green Mat & then attach them to the card Base using a taper runner.

Hint: You may want to use the Stamparatus to help with the alignment of the 4 layered Butterfly.

Live, Laugh, Love - I have always loved that sentiment, so when I saw a Recollections die set at my local Michaels with those dies, I had to have it.  And as several products in the 17-18 annual catalog for Stampin' Up! are retiring on May 31st, I decided to buy their Bloomin' Love stamp set and coordinating Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies, before they were gone, to combine for this lovely card.  What a great set for Valentine, Wedding or Anniversary cards.  I cut the heart out of some pink pearl paper and mounted it on a tiny dotted pink paper I had in my stash.  The tiny die cut flowers for stamped in Pink Pirouette ink.  And added some White Perfect Accents embellishments. This is an A7 size card.
