Simon Says Stamp - CONFETTI BUTTERFLY Friendship Card

Hello Lovelies! This was my first make with Simon Says Stamp's Happy Camper release and I think it got me off to a good start! I've tried coloring embossed paper before with alcohol-based markers, but I think these Confetti Butterflies came out the best.

I think the trick for me to coloring embossed images or patterns with markers is to slow down and have a light touch, this allowed me to control the flow of the ink better and get more even results.

I hope that butterflies make you as happy as they make me!

CARD HIGHLIGHTS

• When coloring embossing, avoid bringing to tip of the marker directly to the edge of the design/image. This allows the ink to not bleed out of the design area.

  
  

• If you have not tried these cute clothes-pins, they are perfect for holding your paper when applying heat to melt the embossing powder.

  
  

• only apply glue to the center of the butterfly layers, allowing you to pop up the gold wings.

UP CLOSE AND CRAFTY

Having two tones of the color make the butterflies look more interesting.

Having the sentiment in black and white helps its stand out in the middle of all that color!

I'll never get tired of this Luxe glitter!
