More Creative Ideas for May 2021 Release - Week 2 - Butterfly Dies Oh My

Galina's alcohol ink butterflies seem like a window in space.  By choosing a similarly colored pattern paper there is no distraction from the focal point of the flying butterflies.

Half-Half Lines Botanical Paper Pad (pattern paper)

JJ's clean and simple shaker card is lovely! The Circle Butterfly Shaker die has an outline die that makes creating a window so easy!

Wrapped Bouquet Stamp Set (sentiment)

 If you don't feel like making a shaker card then you can use the die inlay technique like Dana did here.  The blended rainbow is so pretty.

Here's a fun example of how to add color without coloring.  JJ used a pastel rainbow of cardstock stripes behind her butterflies.

Here's another colorful with no coloring card.  Jeanne is the queen of bright and cheerful. There's a double rainbow happening here.

Channin is the ink blending pro!  Check out that beautiful background and those butterflies.  The Outlined Butterflies Panel die has such a delicate look - very much like lace.

By adding in back in the in-between pieces you get a totally different feel with the panel.  Dana did a beautiful blended rainbow panel and overlaid the panel die cut in crisp white, which makes her butterflies really pop.
