Happy Birthday - Beautiful Butterflies - Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop February 2025

Hello and welcome back to my blog. You are visiting Ann Alexander from Australia. Today I have a card for the February 2025 "Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop".This month we have a Colour Inspiration Challenge. The inspiration image colours are Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Cajun Craze, Summer Splash, Coastal Cabana and Azure Afternoon. I chose to use all the colours for this month's challenge

I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle (stamp, dies & embossing folder), Stampin' Blends, Blending Brushes and finished it off with some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

Instructions:

- Use a piece of Melon Mambo card for the card base and layer with a piece of Cajun Craze card and then Basic White card embossed with the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. 

- Use Stampin' Blends (Melon Mambo & Calypso Coral) and Isopropyl Alcohol to add some colour to Basic White card strips and layer onto the card front. 

- Use the Beautiful Butterflies dies to die cut butterflies from Basic White card. Use Ink Blending and Stampin' Blends in the challenge colours to add colour to them. Add some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the bodies and adhere to the card.

- Stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies set using Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White card and layer it onto a strip of Cajun Craze card and adhere. Finally add some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to complete.

I hope the card you've seen here on my blog today has inspired you to create something today.
