Spellbinders | Happy Mother's Day

Hello there, it was Mother's Day here in the UK on Sunday so I thought I would share the card I made for my mum. She is a fan of the colour black and also of butterflies, so I thought I would combine them for a dramatic but pretty card!

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders My Life In Pictures Etched Die from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock three times. I adhered one to a US A2 sized card base made from Raven Cardstock using Bearly Art Glue and then cut off the excess at the sides with scissors. 

I added a little water to the Pearl Gold paint in the Spellbinders + Yasutomo Water Color Mixing Set and mixed it up a little with a brush. I loaded the brush with the paint and then tapped the brush to splatter it onto the card. Once the paint was dry (did not take long at all), I adhered the other two die cuts on top, lining up with the one underneath to create some dimension.

I took the Spellbinders Ideal Moments Press Plate & Die Set and hot foiled it onto more Raven Cardstock using Spellbinders Champagne Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and then cut down a little further at the sides before adhering to the card with thin foam tape. I adhered two Spellbinders Floral Friendship Butterflies on top and then embellished with Spellbinders Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems to finish.
