Hi there! I’m back today with another Brilliant Butterflies card. This time, I made a slimline card, and heat embossed the wings in gold! 🤩🤩

A while ago, I saw an amazing card on the Foiled Fox blog. That card had two beautiful watercolor brilliant butterflies with golden wings. I was so inspired by it, I just had to try this idea myself!! 🙂

As usual, I wanted my card to work with this week’s sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches:

AND with this week’s color scheme at the Color Throwdown challenge:

So here’s my card! I had to hold the card in my hand, to catch the amazing shine of the golden wings on the butterflies 🙂

To make my card, I started by stamping the butterflies in a fun repeating pattern with Gina K. Designs inks, while alternating the colors on each butterfly.

Then, I heat embossed three pairs of wings on vellum with extra fine gold embossing powder, and added each of them to the butterflies:

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, in green, to match the color scheme. I was afraid that the green won’t work well with the rest of the card, but I was glad to see that it did!

I then added a thin golden matting layer, and added the panel to my slimline card base.

Here’s a “standard” flat lay photo of the card:

And here’s my favorite angle, where you really see the beautiful brilliant butterflies and the shine of the golden wings:

And that’s all for today! I hope you liked the effect of the golden wings over the brilliant butterflies 🙂 For more cards with butterflies, click here!
