Hello Quietfire fans! Betsy here on the blog today sharing a card I made with the
available at:
This is a wonderful collection to create with! Lots of possibilities!
This is what I used for my card today:
The Modern Gilding Powders in Gothic Black are available at:
First, I prepared my base of pale yellow card stock. I cut it to 6" x 6 1/4"
and scored it at 3". I cut my patterned paper to 2 3/4" x 6".
I stamped my images with a black hybrid ink and then heat embossed
them with the Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powders. Despite my best
efforts with the anti-static powder bag, it was a hot and muggy day so
I did get stray dots of the embossing powder. 😒
I decided to color my images with Copic markers to make the butterflies more
noticeable. The colors I used:
Blues: B00, B32, B23
Pinks: RV000, R81, R85
Yellows: Y11, Y02, Y15
I kept the shading to the centers and I was very careful not to let my markers
make contact with the melted embossing powder. At this point I adhered my
panel to the card base. I felt it needed a bit of shimmer and shine so I first made
little butterfly bodies with light green glitter drops. I also added just the tiniest
dots I could possibly make randomly over the background. This really
made the black embossing powders dots seem not to stand out so much.
As a final embellishment I added some tiny clear iridescent butterflies.
And that finished my project!
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial! Suzanne's work is always
such a job to create with!

Beautiful card! I love the butterfly bling and how you added the dots all over the background to camouflage the stray embossing powder. I must remember this the next time this happens to me!
Thanks for the tip on stray embossing powder, love that. The finished card is sweet
