Embossing in any form is one of my favorite card making techniques. For this challenge I have chosen to use a couple of embossing folders for my project.

I especially love the emboss and cut folders. Simon has such an amazing collection of these folders. I will be using the Graceful Butterfly Emboss and Cut set and the Rhythmic embossing folder to create my background.

I made this card using an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock to add to the embossed background. I made the background by first adding a shiny texture glaze to a piece of heavyweight cardstock. When it was dry I ran it through the Rhythmic embossing folder for some beautiful shiny dimension.

I then ink blended on white cardstock some rainbow colors and die cut them out the with butterfly dies from the Graceful Butterfly Emboss and cut set. I then placed the ink and die cut butterflies inside of the embossing folder and ran it through the die cut machine to create a textured impression on the butterflies.

Using a piece of sandpaper, I buffed off the raised layer of each butterfly revealing the white cardstock beneath. It's a fun way to show the detail of the embossed image.

I then die cut the bodies of the butterflies from the left over pieces of the glazed white cardstock and arranged the butterflies onto the card. I stamped the sentiment from some coordinating inks and die cut the word birthday from white cardstock inked blended with the purple dye ink 3 times for thickness and adhered it using foam adhesive.

I hope you have enjoyed my card I made for this week's challenge and got some inspiration! I have affiliate links below with all the supplies I have used to make this card. Thank you so much for stopping by!
