Hey there, crafty friends! Debbie J here, and have I got a stunning project for you today! Get ready to make a gorgeous Light-Up Butterfly Card featuring the amazing One Light from Pear Blossom Press and the beautiful new Wildflowers Collection by Lisa Horton and Spellbinders – specifically those lovely Butterfly Silhouettes BetterPress Plates!!
This card is all about layers and light!
First, I created some beautifully blended butterflies using the Spellbinders BetterPress system. I went with a sunny yellow and orange blend directly on the plates – and the impression was just divine! These were then die-cut with the coordinating dies.
Next, for an extra touch of elegance, I foiled the butterfly outlines onto vellum using my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and some Polished Brass foil. Layering this foiled vellum over the colored butterflies? Absolutely magical! The vellum softens the colors underneath and adds such a delicate shimmer.
But the real magic happens when we add the Pear Blossom Press One Light! I created my card front using the Spellbinders Scalloped and Stitched Edge Ovals and their Splatters BetterPress plate for some subtle background texture. To let that beautiful light shine through, I die-cut a small circle behind where my butterfly would sit. I also stamped a “Press Here” sentiment (from the Pear Blossom Press interactive stamp set) which I heat embossed for a little extra pop.
The One Light unit fits perfectly behind the panel. I even added a super clever little access door on the inside of the card using another die from the Pear Blossom Press set, so the battery can be changed easily! How neat is that?!
