Tim Holtz - Sizzix Chapter 2 Release, Brushstroke Butterflies
Hello Lovelies! There's a lot more color on the way but as much I as adore vibrant hues, muted, neutral tones have their own quiet beauty.
Layering dies can seem overwhelming but the Brushstroke Butterflies are a breeze to assemble and I knew that I wanted to see them in vellum and metallics as soon as I laid eyes on them!
Today's card features the following items, but if you are interested, the full new release is available at Simon Says Stamp individually or as as a bundle.
The full list is shown in the Supplies Gallery at the end of this post for your convenience.
But first we have some blingy butterflies to make.
