Hello Altenew friend!
It's my turn to share project(s) over Altenew Card Blog. This time, I am fluttering by with two projects featuring Radial Butterflies Cover Die. I am excited to show you how I only die cut once to create two very different butterfly cards! Let's start with Card #1.
**All products (highlighted in bold) used are listed at the end of this post**
Important: Before I started, I adhered the Classic Crest Solar White 80 Lb card stock to the Masking Paper. This will give the entire sheet with the adhesive backing.
I then ink-blended the background by using the Small Ink-Blending Brushes. Starting from the top, I applied Pink Diamond, Citrus Burst, Mountain Mist and finished it off with Magenta. I then die cut Radial Butterflies Cover Die and saved all the butterflies for my next card. I then die cut Fancy Celebrate Die with Gilded Ombre Washi Tape.
For the embellishments, I also die cut the Radial Butterflies Cover Die with Gilded Ombre Washi Tape. This ensured that the entire card has a cohesive look.
Remember that I saved all the extra butteries from the die-cutting? Thanks to the Masking Paper, I could easily position them in a cascading fashion. I then did some masking and did more ink-blending.
This time, I used nearly the same colors with a few more bold colors such as Coral Berry , Maple Yellow and Azurite.
Once I finished ink-blending, I peeled off the butterflies and re-positioned them around the negative white space. I managed to stamp "thanks" ( Tall Alpha Stamp Set) without any issue because the butterflies are can be moved around. For the final touches, I added a few Satin White Sequins. I absolutely love cards with a bit of movement.
Aren't Cover Dies so fun and versatile? I hope this gives you an extra idea on using Radial Butterflies Cover Die. You can definitely try out with other cover dies such as Radial Hearts and Radial Stars!

It must be Spring at your house with all these butterflies fluttering by. Such pretty cards brilliantly executed. Fresh, lively coloring and so much movement. Beautifully done, my friend.
These are so pretty! I love the way you used the extra butterflies! Beautiful colors on your cards!

So pretty and colorful.
Beautiful cards Virginia. The butterflies are so sweet. You are so inspiring Virginia.
Fabulous use of the die - and I just got the radial stars die, so this is perfect for me!!! Thanks as always!
I like how the thanks butterflies look like they just came off the page and took to flight.
