Simon Says Stamp Happy Camper Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Happy Camper Blog Hop. This post will have lots of inspiration, giveaways and a special offer for this blog hop👇👇  
The project I am sharing today features the new Confetti Butterflies embossing folder and the Confetti Butterflies coordinating die set.
The base of this card is an A2 size cut from smooth white cardstock. I then cut another piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die. I masked off each side of this panel with post-it tape and created a background with a polka dot stencil and distress ink.
I then used the coordinating butterfly dies to cut several butterflies from white cardstock and then I placed them in the embossing folder and ran it through my die cut machine to add the wonderful texture to the wings. I colored the wings with copic markers. (I listed the colors below)
I cut the bodies of the butterflies out of gold cardstock for a little shine. I also used gold embossing powder to add shine to the sentiment. I stamped it with clear ink and heat set it with the gold powder. I used the coordinating sentiment die to cut it out and pop it up on the card front with 3d foam squares.
Simon is giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop and announced August 6th on the Simon blog. Each comment will be an entry into the drawing. 👉PLEASE NOTE: If you want to leave a comment on this post, make sure you include your name so we can reach you if you are selected for the giveaway!

    Your card is pure sunshine !! The colors are fantastic, bright, happy & carefree !! The polka dot background made a great landing zone for the butterflies to strut their stuff being popped up on as if they were in flight.

    Barbara,
    What a pleasure for the eyes! I am astounded to read that you colored these w/ Copic markers. What!?! I thought for sure that you'd used some kind of template and used blending brushes! I love the touches of gold, too. GREAT job!
