Susanbcards: Spellbinders Butterfly Silhouettes Press Plates

I made an acetate background for another card (see video below) and it was so cool I decided to tape how I made it, so I had this extra background. I also reverse foiled the leftover negative foil on black and diecut it for the center image. All of this is from the Spellbinders Wildflower Collection by Lisa Horton.

The butterflies are BetterPress plates, there is one plate to ink the body, another to ink the outline. I decided to use Glimmer hot foil on both, There is a acetate outline included with the set so you can put it down on your BetterPress and be sure it's properly aligned because you have to ink each individually. Well, I decided to make it more difficult and hot foil each individually and was afraid to put the acetate outline on my Glimmer for fear of melting it. I wish I could remember how I lined them up! I didn't tape it because I thought it was going to be a disaster. I do remember I used the rainbow foil first. Then maybe I diecut the butterfly shapes?? I know something had to do with using a big piece of mint tape and making a hinge. I'm sorry... I'll try to repeat this.

I do know that you can easily ink up a piece of cardstock bigger than the butterfly, then Glimmer hot foil it and easily get this look. I'm going to video tape this soon!

For the sentiment, I used some of the leftover rainbow foil, just love the look. The sentiment is included in the butterfly set.
