Papertrey Ink: a Make it Monday installment

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! It is a beautiful one here today the sun is shining and it's warmish.

The boys are watching the Superbowl and I am crafting some cards. Thought I would take the opportunity to join in on the latest Make it Monday challenge over on the Papertrey Ink blog.

This time around it is all about the ombre. I started with the Butterfly Cover Plate and cut it out of white cardstock, then went to town with some Distress Ink blending (Holly Berries, Fresh Picked Raspberry, and Spun Sugar to be precise). I didn't want the background piece to go to waste, so I placed a second piece of white cardstock behind the butterflies and used them like a stencil. Here's the first card that utilizes the positive space of the die cut.

Here is the second card that uses the negative space...

Both cards were then embellished with some glitter, felt die cut hearts, sequins and jewels.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
