WT954 Glass Butterfly

Photo Details

Poster: Cook22

For WT954: WT954 - Reuse that Packaging - 06/22/2023 by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers

I used the faux glass tutorial linked in the challenge post, a Sizzix butterfly die (cut twice) an old HA script stamp, and a gold Posca pen. The butterfly body is cut from a tomato paste tube.
The base layer was embossed, coloured with gelatos and edged with Inka gold.

I tried this technique once and I hated the way it came out. This beautiful butterfly is making me want to try again. Beautiful card!

I have to say every time I see you do this faux glass technique I am reminded of a card you did many years ago with this technique and how gorgeous those flowers turned out. I still have that in my favorites and need to try this technique. This butterfly is absolutely amazing!

Gorgeous butterfly. I did this technique with flowers back in 2018. Fabulous idea to use a butterfly. The embossed background is lovely. Great card!
