Susanbcards: Spellbinders Silhouette Butterflies 2 Layer Inking and Foiling!

The Spellbinders Wildflowers Collection by Lisa Horton was my favorite from May. I have 3 other blog posts using these products. You can see the entire Wildflowers Collection HERE.

For my first card, I used this gorgeous paper from Your Paper Insider's Box 6. Unfortunately, this box is sold out. I can't say enough about this paper subscription service. It comes out 4x a year, currently the subscription price is $29.95 (shipping is included in this price!). It's really great to have a box of assorted specialty paper on hand. I know I don't have stores around me with so many unique papers and even if I did, I doubt I'd pick an assortment. You can find out more about Your Paper Insider HERE.

The butterfly is a BetterPress plate that I inked up with Altenew Ink. I added the pretty floral diecut from the same collection. The sentiment is also from the collection, I used scraps of the background paper to stamp on and for the sentiment shadow. I thought it looked nice to match. I added a few Pinkfresh Metallic Pearls.

I finally figured out how to use my Glimmer hot foil machine with a 2 piece BetterPress plate. It's almost impossible to line up the outline plate with the foiled solid butterfly and I didn't want to try using the registration template included in the set, it's made of plastic and was worried it would melt. So I made my own template using the dies to cut out the butterflies on regular cardstock. Video below:

I used holographic Glimmer hot foil for the body and black hot foil for the outline. The sentiment set is also from this collection. The background is Speckled Egg Distress Paint on a gel plate. It made this splotchy look and I went with it.

For my last card, I used rainbow Glimmer foil for the body and black hot foil for the outline. The embossed panel is made with the Spellbinders Petunia 3D embossing folder. The image normally is down the center of the paper but I moved the image to the left to leave more blank space on the right for my butterflies. I used Sizzix Luster Wax ove the top of the embossed area.
