Painted Butterfly in Gold

 

Hello Friends!

Clean and simple doesn’t mean plain — sometimes it’s the most elegant way to make a design shine. Today’s card is a perfect example. I pulled out the Painted Butterfly stamp set from Altenew and decided to keep things soft and classy.

I started by stamping the butterfly outline with Versamark ink and then heat embossed it in Rose Gold. I just love the delicate shine it adds without being too bold. Instead of building all the layers of the butterfly, I skipped ahead to the last one and stamped it in Pink Sand. This gave just a hint of color while still letting the embossed outline take center stage.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed the greeting in Rose Gold on black cardstock, trimmed it down into a strip, and popped it up with foam tape. That little bit of dimension really helps it stand out!

This design came together so quickly, and I love how polished it looks while still being minimal. Proof that clean and simple can be both beautiful and impactful! 

Hope you have been inspired to create today!

Happy Stamping!
