Hello! Thanks so much for joining me today! I’m using embossing folders today to create a card that’s full of texture and color. The latest Simon Says Stamp release brings new embossing folders that are beautiful and I wanted to combine the Lilac Clusters with the Fantasy Butterflies for today’s card.
Be sure to check out the video to see how I used these embossing folders to add color and bring these images to life!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I began by embossing the Lilac Clusters on two panels and ink-blended them with purple ink. I wanted to add some depth too, so I added some pink and blue ink as well. I had ink-blended the foliage at the bottom of the panel with green ink, but decided to fussy-cut around all the lilac clusters to get individual clusters for my card.

My card is 5” x 7” to accommodate the 4 large lilac clusters. To add foliage, I die-cut some Windswept Leaves with green cardstock and ink-blended them with dark green ink to give them some shading. I also prepared a single butterfly from the Fantasy Butterflies embossing folder and coordinating die set.

On the background, I ink-blended some green to add a soft glow. Once I arranged and adhered my lilac clusters and leaves, I splattered the panel with white paint to give it additional texture. I then finished with a simple sentiment strip from the Thinking of You Sentiment Strip set.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for being here today! ~Caly
