\n<\/a><\/span><\/strong>To make my Butterfly Wish card, I stamped the Butterfly Dream<\/a><\/strong><\/span> image repeatedly across a white panel then heat embossed it w\/ white powder. The distress inks were then sponged across mainly the left side & I let them fade to white on the right. Some random water dots were sprinkled on top, then I took a water brush and lifted the color from the little leaves & added just a touch of green. It was die cut first w\/ the largest matting basic die then I used one several sizes smaller to cut out the inside & I inserted a white layer between them.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>The first part of the greeting was also done using emboss resist & the Wish<\/a><\/strong><\/span> die cut was double stacked. The Daisy Garden border die<\/a><\/strong><\/span> was cut out of white then I separated the diamond part from the flowers and attached one under the top layer & the other on top. I found some wide pink tulle polka dot ribbon & fussed w\/ it a bit until I arrived at how it looks now.\u00a0<\/span>
\nHere’s a look at the inside.<\/span>
