Heat embossing with Butterfly brilliance stamp set.

 My card today uses a heat tool and embossing powder to create a raised image that can be left as the focus for a card front or cut out using the matching butterfly die - the die cuts out all of the butterflies at once.  I sponged the background after the fronts were embossed and added a simple sentiment - nothing much else is needed the star of the show are the butterflies themselves.

The butterfly stamp is one large cling stamp and fits on the larger f block, if you do not have this large block I often use the box that the stamp comes in or my stamparatus. 

For the individual butterflies I simply cut the whole sheet with the matching Brilliant wings die and will use them on cards, tags and other projects.

Hope you like my project - have fun with blending and sponging the background but don't forget to clean the embossed areas afterwards to make the butterflies really pop.
