Hello there! I hope you're having a great day!
I have a card to share today using the brand new to me Butterfly Escapades Embossing Folder and Dies from Simon Says Stamp. Deciding to order this came as a bit of delayed reaction. Apparently I'm not the only one as it is now sold out. In the order with it came many goodies from the Artsy Butterflies card kit that Simon Says Stamp offered last month. I didn't think I needed it but changed my mind after seeing so many beautiful butterfly creations!
Delicate pastel card stock with rich embossing, a bit of inking and layered butterflies came together so nicely! Using an arched die cut, I used the Spotlight technique adding a white panel for the focal point. The sentiment is from Honeybee stamps, cut in gold mirror card stock to match the butterfly body.
I'd like to try this card again, and I will hope the photos better show how really soft the colors are. I absolutely love the new card stock colors of the In My Heart I Want It All collection. I'm not known to use purple hues often, but I am a fan of this soft shade used in the card front.
Be forewarned, there will be an abundance of butterfly creations coming.
I will add this to the challenges listed:

Oh Cindy! This is a beautifully embossed design and the pretty pastel shades you made. Our spotlight is gorgeous and we're so glad you joined us at Just Us Girls! Thanks for playing!
This is SO Lovely!
I'm so thrilled to see you using this folder and die set as I bought it, too, but mine's still awaiting its first use. Gorgeous with the spotlight design which highlights the focal area while it still lets you use the rest of the folder and those pretty pastels. Love the layered butterfly and the bit of gold. It's all just so lovely, Cindy!
I may have been in a bit of a hurry to use this new folder, lol! I look forward to take 2. Also, seeing what you will make, Leslie.
