Rainbow Slimline with Butterfly Blooms

Hello and welcome!

I have a rainbow slimline card today using a new stamp that I have really fallen in love with!

It's called "Butterfly Blooms" and it's from Creative Expressions.  I also used rainbow paper from a paper pack called "Dandelion Dreams", two slimline dies from the "Decorative Square Rectangle" die set, and Vellum, all from Creative Expressions.  I have linked all my supplies below if you are interested in them.

Here's a close up look at the vellum butterfly attached to the one stamped on the rainbow paper:



To make my card I ran white card stock and the rainbow paper through my die cut machine to cut.
For the white, I ran both the biggest dies through so I could make a white frame.  I also ran the rainbow paper through the same way but didn't use the frame from the rainbow paper or the inside white piece.  I will save those for another project.  I stamped the image on the inside rainbow piece with my stamping tool and heat embossed it in clear.

After I cut them with my Spellbinders Platium, they were quite warped, so I ran them through my laminator inside a piece of copy paper and that helped flatten them out.  I adhered them together on top of a piece of rainbow paper slight later than the white outside frame.


Next, I adhered that to the card base and added some enamel accents.  To create more dimension I took some two sided adhesive and added it to a piece of vellum.

I stamped the image on the vellum and heat embossed it in clear then fussy cut out the butterfly.
I used my embossing pad to take the sticky off the wings and then colored the wings with alcohol markers.  I left the butterfly's body very sticky so I could attach it to the butterfly stamped on the rainbow paper.  The sentiment is from the same set, stamped in clear embossing ink and heat embossed in white.

Above you can see the vellum wings popped up for dimension.  Here's one last look:


Hope you like my slimline card for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
