Birthday card with distress ink background

Hi there!

I would like to share with you a card I made using distress inks to make a background. I wanted to incorporate the butterflies in this project somehow as there are many challenges at the moment that want you to include some. I had a few ideas and this here is one of them. I blended distress inks and also created a rainbow effect. I just love how well these inks blend and create different colours. I mainly used 4 colours but then ended up adding a bit of Spiced Marmalade to add more orange.

I stamped and heat embossed my butterflies and fussy cut them leaving a little white border around them and then added them on the front of my card along with the heat embossed sentiment.

 

Here is the video tutorial for this card I made for my you tube channel:
