Hello there! ’m delighted to be a guest designer for Concord & 9th this month, I have already shared one of my projects, a Pineapple Hello card, a few days ago on my blog and I wanted to share another card I made using a Butterfly Beauty stamp set in this post.

VIDEO TUTORIAL
A few of you asked me to do a video tutorial for this card, so I filmed a quick one. Enjoy below or on my Youtube channel:

CARD DETAILS
While the stamp set I used to create this project is a layering one, meaning it offers several layers to “dress up” and image I only used one, base layer for my stamping. And I have to say – I love the result! I stamped a simple background using a solid butterfly layer.
To add color variation to my images I used Hero Arts ombre inks in Butter to Orange, Pink to Red and Mint to Green inks. Because of how the stamp is designed I was able to achieve watercolor-like look with single impression. I did not double stamp these.
My sentiment, you bring out the beauty in everything, was heat embossed in white embossing powder onto black cardstock sprayed with Mica from Ranger. I also used Nuvo Drops and added liquid enamel dots over butterflies for additional pop of color and some interest.
This handmade card uses Nuvo Drops as a final touch. Want to see 4 other ways you can use Nuvo Drops from Tonic Studios in card making? Check out this article – 5 Ways to Use Nuvo Drops.
