Purple Butterfly Thank You Card with Watercolor Background


I made this gorgeous card with my Inkadinkado butterfly stamp which is one of my favorite butterfly stamps. It's the perfect size and I love the detail. I love how this turned out, it's so bright and colorful! Here's how to make it:

First cut a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Stampin' Up! Wisteria Wonder card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer, a 2 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Wisteria Wonder for the strip's first layer and a 2 1/8" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the strip.

Then cut the Wisteria Wonder strip's edge with a Stampin' Up! Finishing Touches Edgelit die and set it aside. Next create the strip with the following Stampin' Up! Stampin' Write markers: Cameo Coral, Lovely Lilac, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight, a water spritzer and an acrylic block. Just color the acrylic block with each marker, spray it 3 or 4 times with the spritzer, press it onto the card stock and allow it to dry. Repeat this process to create the butterfly's background, when it's dry stamp the butterfly in Stampin' Up! Bravo Burgundy ink and cut it out. Then stamp the swirls and butterflies on the watercolored strip in Bravo Burgundy and Tempting Turquoise inks, attach the the strip to it's first layer then to the front layer. Next stamp the sentiment in Wisteria Wonder ink with a stamp from a Stampin' Up! All Natural set, attach the butterfly with mini pop dots, attach the front to the base and enjoy! Here's another card that I made in slightly different colors:
