I love this butterfly set! With it you can create such beautiful butterflies AND cut them out using Thin Cut dies! I used a pattern in our how-to book called Make It from Your Heart Volume 4 (pattern19). The Feels Like Home paper pack is my favorite in our catalog especially the flower paper in the corners. Since I wanted to use that paper I picked my colors based on what you see in the flowers. I stamped the three butterflies in Intense Black ink and used the fill-in images to color each one. The largest was stamped with Sugarplum ink twice because I wanted a darker tone. The middle butterfly with Pixie ink and the smallest with Sugarplum just once. I also splattered some Sugarplum Shimmer Brush on the white area of the card front. Each butterfly was also covered with Clear Shimmer Brush so they sparkle and shimmer.
