Card Inspiration Butterfly Garden for Mum
This card is all about soft layers and gentle dimension. The embossed floral background sets the tone, while the arched panel draws your eye straight to that heartfelt sentiment. Adding the butterflies brings movement and life to the design, making it feel extra special.
To recreate this look:
- Start with a soft pink cardstock base and stamp the Gerbera Daisy Background using a clear embossing ink. Heat emboss with white embossing powder for a subtle, elegant finish.
- Die cut an arch using the Scalloped Arches Frames Wafer Dies from coordinating pink cardstock.
- Heat emboss your sentiment “love you, Mama” (from the Thanks Mom set) in white onto the arch panel.
- Adhere the arch to the centre of your card front using foam adhesive for added dimension.
- Die cut the butterflies from the Flourish Butterfly Trio Wafer Dies using shades of pink cardstock. Add gentle ink blending to the wings for depth.
- Layer the butterflies together and shape the wings slightly for a more realistic look.
- Die cut or trim simple leafy sprigs from green cardstock and arrange them around the arch.
- Adhere the butterflies over the foliage, clustering them around the arch to frame the sentiment.
- Finish with a few iridescent sequins for a touch of sparkle and movement.
