Supplies used for the Butterfly Journal Card Tutorial.

Begin by selecting the butterfly fussy cut page from the Royal Peacock Kit. Fussy cut the elements and apply Walnut Stain Distress Ink with a blending tool around the edges.

Use a Gold Krylon to apply gold around the edge of the butterfly image.

Select a 4 x 6 journaling card and place inside MISTI with the Damask Collage Background from Bline Designs and use the Versamark Watermark Ink pad on the stamp. Press Image to paper, clean stamp then use Gilded Gold Embossing powder on the newly stamped image.

Emboss the image with heat tool. Make sure to not touch the embossing until it cools. Use a heat resistant surface when embossing.

Apply the Versamark inkpad to the edges of the card then dip the card into the gold embossing powder, heat emboss.

Create a second journal card in the same manner using the Postcard Collage Stamp from Bline Design.

Spray Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, Royal Green and Royal Gold on both journal cards. Tap with paper towel if there is too much paint pooling.

Adhere a couple of the fussy cut elements on the Damask Background Journal card base with Aleene’s Tacky glue.

Apply Tulip Dimensional Fabric glitter paint on the flowers and butterflies. Allow the paint to dry.

Add pop dots to the back of the Butterfly image. Cut a few pieces of trims and yarns and make a circle over the flowers on the card with a circle of glue then the Butterfly image on top.

Apply distress ink to the edges of the White Words on Black then adhere on the journal card.

Place drops fo the Best Glue Ever in a pleasing manner on the journal card for the flat back rhinestones. Allow the glue to dry until it is clear then place the gems on the glue using Embellie Gellie.

Repeat the same process using the Postcard Collage Journal card base.

Now admire your journal cards. This was a fun Butterfly Journal Card Tutorial as I loved being able to take some time to bling up a couple of cards. What are your favorite embellishments to add to journal cards?
