Embossed, stencilled and diecut butterflies highlight a special moment. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a combo of butterfiles ready to celebrate in shimmery shades of turquoise, green and purple.

Cut the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with the 3" x 4-¼" Basic Rectangles die. Pressure-emboss it with Butterfly Coterie Collage.
Stencil the embossed butterflies with the Butterfly Coterie Stencil and Distress Oxides - skip the two that will be hidden by the Ava Butterflies. Ink colors used here - wilted violet, cracked pistachio and salvaged patina.
Blend the same inks - plus twisted citron - on a strip of watercolor paper. Spritz and splatter it with Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Airdry the ink for a few minutes, then heat-set it. Cut it into 2 strips and lightly ink the edges with Cracked Pistachio.
Cut Ava Butterflies from the turquoise and purple 6x6 sheets in the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad. Attach them with foamdots.
Stamp the greeting - from the Poppystamps Art Deco Birthday Greetings Clear Stamps - on watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black. Dry the ink, then trim it with the smallest Banner Sentiment Trio die.

Attach everything to an A-6 (4-½" x 6-¼") Cream Woodgrain Paper card - use foamdots for the greeting.
Add Winter Fantasy Fairy Gemstones. Cut an A-6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
Butterflies are great for any occasion. Emboss, stencil and diecut them in coordinating colors - or a lively mix of inks and papers.
