Butterflies - Pinkfresh Studio

Hi Friends,

Today I am playing along with Pinkfresh Studios July Challenge which is all about butterflies.  Even though I have only made a handful of cards in the last few years that has not stopped me buying lots of supplies....I just can't help myself! One of the companies I have bought quite a few products from this year is Pinkfresh Studio.  They have had some amazing releases this year.  I had loads of fun playing with these new goodies and I have to say, I love their butterfly stamps.

I stamped this beautiful butterfly in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold. I coloured it with my Zig Real Color Brushes and I love the vibrant colour.  I have owned these brushes for a while......ermm but this is the first time I have used them on a card, as I always reach for my copics.  Once coloured I fuzzy cut the image out. The sentiment is also from the stamp set and I also heat embossed this in gold.

I decided I wanted to make a mini slimline card..another first for me.  Pinkfresh Studio has an amazing mini slimline bundle of dies, which I used for my card.  I die cut the leafy branch die twice from white cardstock and coloured them with distress inks, cut them up and adhered them to a white panel which I had splattered with gold. I mounted a white die cut circle to the centre of the card to cover the ends of the cut branches and to provide some 'space' from the background, so the butterfly was centre stage.  I added some emerald city jewels as all cards need some sparkle!
