GIU Day 4 Butterfly For You Notecard

 Hello everyone. It's Day 4 for GIU week Unity Stamps Co.  I have a Butterfly card today and you can win a $20 GC to shop at Unity Stamps. 2 Lucky winners.  Just comment here, FB groups, and IG to be eligible to win.

Let's Get Started:


Well this Butterfly comes from the KOM August 2025 called A Monarch Echo. I thought it was really pretty. I don't see many of these butterflies anymore. I usually see white ones in my backyard. I did go to a butterfly event before and WOW that was something, I would like to do that again one day as that was many years ago.

 I stamped this butterfly with Black Soot Distress ink on watercolor paper 98lbs.   I ended up using watercolor pencils from Tim Holtz. I kept laying down color with a little bit of water and a paint brush,  letting it dry and then I would apply more color.  After, when I was happy with my results I fussy cut out this butterfly and how I love it.  I found some orange gingham pattern paper in my stash and grabbed some black cardstock.  I ripped both papers.


I also used the A-Round & A-Round stamp it has some round solid stamps. I used one of those stamps with Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink on my Gingham paper for fun.


I placed my 2 papers on a cream colored A2 panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Once all glued, I inked around my card panel with the Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink. I stamped a sentiment from the KOM with black ink onto the cream colored cardstock. I then glued my butterfly just so the center was attached I like bending the wings up and down. I did add some white gel pen dot accents to my butterfly. I like that this card is great for any Occasion, I will probably stamp inside when needed. Everything was then glued to a black A2 heavyweight card base and that makes this card finished.  I hope you like it.  I had fun making it.  See you on our last day, Day 5!
