Susanbcards: Blooming Butterflies Emboss & Cut

The Spellbinders Blooming Butterflies 3D Emboss & Cut Folder is part of the Vivid Expressions Collection. You can see the entire collection HERE.

This embossing folder has the floral corner, butterflies, leaves and a single flower that can be embossed and cut in one pass through your Spellbinders Platimum 6. I use the Sizzix Big Shot so the sandwich to run this through is a bit different. The easiest way I found to emboss the Spellbinders 3D embossing folders is to use the Sizzix Platform on tab 1 for embossing with the Sizzix Silicone Mat and just the top plate.

I used a sheet of 8.5" x 11" white cardstock (65 lb Recollections brand) cut in half to 5.5" x 8.5".

I rubbed Tea Dye Distress Ink over the embossing folder so the ink would be pressed into the paper for a bit of antiqued look. After the paper was embossed, I painted the flowers with Spun Sugar Distress Reinker and water. I only painted the flowers, I left everything else as is. I then placed the matching dies onto the paper and diecut all the shapes out.

I found that the Sweeping Script Sentiments (BetterPress Plates) seemed to fit right over the blooms nicely. I used some gold Glimmer hot foil with the Hello sentiment.

I then glued everything in place. I think it's an elegant card.
