Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I love these Glimmer butterflies from Pinkfresh Studios and they've been
sitting in my NBUS box far too long!
The Glimmer System uses heat and foil to letterpress designs.
This time I used mixed media paper so I could watercolor the butterflies.
I also watercolored these dainty die cuts and let the color run over onto
mixed media paper for the background.
Here's a closeup so you can see the shine. Or should I say the glare?

Love your card with that beautiful butterfly. You create such great backgrounds with your techniques and I love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBonnie that glare makes it that much more important that they be delivered - by hand, if possible! Love this sweet little water colored friend of yours - I have two last chrysalis in my dining room as our nights have been so cold! OH that reminds me, I'd better check to see if they've bloomed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday - happy card!

Beautiful! And I'm going to call it shine because glare is just too harsh for such a delicate butterfly and card -- perfection!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. I love it.

Just love your delicate watercolored blooms with the foiled butterfly, Bonnie - gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteTFS your pretty glimmery foil die cut flowers and butterfly, Bonnie. I can just imagine the pretty shine from the foiling, my friend. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colours and delicate flower die cuts - a perfect contrast to the shine of the glimmer butterfly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bonnie, I love the soft colours from your die cut stamping on the background ♥
ReplyDeleteThe gold foiling elevates that butterfly to high design, Bonnie. I love how you do those backgrounds with the overrun of ink.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting design. My first thought was of a dance - all the elements seem to be dancing and the colors are really wonderful adding to the mood of the card. A very nice card Bonnie and it should go to some special. Beautifully created and made.

So pretty and a great layout. Well done on using the NBUS.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, we can admire your amazing watercolor background. You're perfect at this, Bonnie. I can see the glow of the butterfly, but I'm sure its glow is actually much greater than in the picture.

A beautiful glimmery watercolored butterfly! Your background has a delicately abstract look to it, and I'm thinking that sure is a good way to assure perfect coordination!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, I do so love shiny things xx
ReplyDeleteI love this Bonnie... I think the mix of elements and the lovely soft colours are divine!
ReplyDeleteSuch a delicate card with the daintiest of elements and the way you did the water colouring looks so pretty x.
ReplyDeleteI love the bits of color under the spray of delicate blooms.
ReplyDeletePretty blooms Bonnie. LOVE the foiled butterfly ... gorgeous shine! :) xx
