Bugs and Butterfly Card
by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  For today's card I wanted to use the new Brilliant Beetles die set, so I thought the Vintage Tray Die and 3D Embossing Folder would be a great background for my card.

I started by die cutting the Vintage Tray Frame once from gold foil paper and 3 times from white cardstock.  I placed the gold foil frame into the Vintage Tray 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to add some texture to the frame.  Next, I stacked and glued all the frames together ending with the gold foil one.

Next, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the same 3D embossing folder.  I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a blending brush to add some color to the background.  I used gold and black ink to spatter the background.

The frame was glued to the embossed background and adhered to a black cardstock mat.  This was glued to a white cardstock card base.

All the beetles and the butterfly were die cut from white cardstock and colored with Distress Inks. 

I used foam squares to adhere them to the card.  

To finish the card, I adhered the Happy Birthday Foil Greeting to the last opening in the frame.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!
