Colour INKspiration #196 – Beautiful Butterflies

🦋 Colour INKspiration #196 – Beautiful Butterflies

It’s time for another Colour INKspiration challenge and this week’s combo is a total stunner: Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Gray Granite, and Early Espresso. Sounds delicious, right? Like something I’d order at a fancy café… “I’ll have one Shy Shamrock Latte with a splash of Summer Splash, please!” 😂

For my card, I decided to feature the Butterfly set—because it’s on the Last Chance List, and I just couldn’t let it flutter away without one more crafty hurrah!

✂️ Basic Instructions

Card Base: Start with a standard 5½" x 8½" piece of Basic White cardstock, scored at 4¼".
Background: Layer strips of Early Espresso (I used a textured DSP that looks like woven leather—yum!) and Gray Granite or linen-look paper for a soft contrast. Adhere them to the woven texture DSP
Butterfly: Stamp and colour your Butterfly then cut out.
Sentiment: Adhere your sentiment and pop it up with dimensionals.
Finishing Touches: Add a few tiny butterflies or embellishments for a little extra sparkle (because who doesn’t love a little bling?).
