I used the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance stamp set bundle to create my project for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a theme challenge this week and this is what I made for it.

Here is the theme that we’re using this week:

My card also works for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #TTTC157.  I went from the upper left to the lower right.

I started by inking the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Gray Granite ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it on the front of a Thick Basic White card Base.  I stamped the Butterfly Brilliance image again in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I colored the butterfly with Light and Dark So Saffron, Pale Papaya and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers.

I cut the image out with the Brilliant Wings Dies.  I adhered the die cut butterfly to one of the Lovely Layers 3-3/4″ x 5″ Vellum (available May 3) sheets with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Seal (hidden under the butterfly die cut).

I stamped the sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set (available May 3) in VersaMark ink on a strip of Basic White card stock, sprinkled it with copper embossing powder from the Metallics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I punched the ends of the sentiment strip with the Banners Pick A Punch and then adhered it with Stampin’ Seal to the card front.  I adhered two copper dots from the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the image from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I colored the image with Light and Dark So Saffron, Pale Papaya and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.’
