Can you believe it’s already April? It’s time for a new Color Fusers Blog Hop, and this month, we have a bright, beautiful color palette that reminds me of Spring. I’m sooo ready for warmer weather. I know most of you probably think I don’t have a leg to stand on living in California, but it’s been too cold for too long!
Thinking of Spring and warmer weather, I decided to create a card featuring the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and coordinating Brilliant Wings Dies, two of my all-time favorites.
Just to be different, I used the bright colors in the background. I used a large Water Painter to paint layers of swirly strips on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Once they dried, I flick them with water drops, trimmed them down to 1″ strips, and punched the ends with the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. They sort of resemble washi tape!
Afterwards, I stamped and embossed the butterflies in white on Vellum. I also used the Brilliant Wings Dies to cut butterflies from Distressed Gold Paper. That paper is some of my favorite, it looks beautiful on any project!
To add a sentiment, I used the Something Fancy Bundle.
Final touches were included a dry embossed background using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders, some Opal Rounds, and unraveled Simply Elegant Trim.
Be sure to continue on through the rest of the Color Fusers Blog Hop for even more inspiration using this month’s beautiful color combination. Next up is Melissa Kerman!

Beautiful card, Tami! Butterfly Brilliance has been on my list for so long and I’ve yet to purchase it. I guess I’d better hurry and order it with my shimmery CS today. I really thought between you and me, we would purchase enough to keep it in the catty. 🤷♀️😂
Again, great card!!!❤️
Ha, I totally agree. I think I purchase Shimmery White with every order I place. Thanks so much for your sweet comments. I really appreciate it.
