Hello, crafty friends! I love a good 2-step stamp, which is why I was so excited to ink up the Blooming Butterflies stamp set today. Let’s get into the card!

Step 1: Trim a piece of Stark White Cardstock down to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Using the first stencil from the Happy Arches Layering Stencil, blend on some Fore! ink with a blending brush.

Step 2: Grab the second stencil in the Happy Arches, and blend Loch Ness ink using another blending brush. 

Step 3: Using the final stencil in the Happy Arches Layering Stencil, spread some Unicorn Horn Astro Paste over the entire panel using a paste tool.  This will give the panel a cool toned glittery finish. Set the panel aside to dry and clean off the tools.

Step 4: Stamp 3 butterflies and a sentiment from the Blooming Butterflies stamp set using Black Widow Stellar Ink.

Step 5: Using Check Engine and Slippery When Wet ink, stamp the second part to the butterflies.

Step 6: Cut out the sentiment and the butterflies using Mini Snips.

Step 7: Now that the panel is dry, trim ¼” from a long side. This will make the panel 4” x 5 ½”.  Layer the panel onto a piece of black cardstock measuring 4 ¼” x 5 ½”, and attach to an A2 card base. Assemble the rest of the card.
