Hi friends! It’s Day 2 of the Let’s Chill release blog hop from Simon Says Stamp! We have a ton of inspiration to share with you today. Be sure to also visit the Let’s Chill gallery for more inspiration.
Today I’m sharing a card I created using the Butterfly Dreams stamp set.
I started by creating these circle elements on my card using the Circle Masks stencil and blending brushes.
I ink blended on Sunbeam and Sweets ink from Simon Says Stamp.
Next I stamped my butterfly images using Versafine ink.
I added a bit of sparkle to the butterflies by coloring them in with a Nuvo Shimmer Pen.
I finished off with a sentiment from the Reverse Sentiment Strips Just Groovy.
Bright, cheerful and easy to create!

How you used the Butterfly Dreams stamp set with the ink blended background is so beautiful! The gorgeous colors that you used with the black delicate loves of the butterfly are so striking.

Awesome card Mindy! Love the clean & simple look. I never think to make something this clean and simple and I love it! You could change up the colors and put almost any kind of stamp over the circles! Thanks for the inspiration, I’m definitely going to case this card with my own colors and stamps!
