I combined the Terrarium Die with the new Butterfly Garden set which allowed me to keep a really clean look but with lots of layering. I stamped two of the Butterfly Garden stamps. One set I colored completely with the stencil and the other I used the stencil for just the base layer. I then added more shading with my alcohol markers. I also added a bolder outline with a fine liner and some white gel pen details before using the coordinating dies to cut them out.
I cut the Terrarium Die out of Acetate and white cardstock. The base was cut out of Brushed Gold cardstock. I added some light blue shading to the white cardstock to give it some dimension. I also added a bit of blue ink blending to another piece of white card stock before adding some texture with the Dotted Scallops cover plate. I then arranged the stenciled pieces around the white die cut. I then arranged the colored die cuts on top of the acetate. I only added glue behind those pieces to attach the acetate.
It's difficult to see the layers in the photos straight on but you can definitely see the difference in layers from an angle. the pieces under the acetate fall to the background while the pieces on top really shine! It creates tons of dimension while still keeping a large amount of white space.
I did add a few rhinestones and some clear glitter for some shine.
You can watch the entire card come to life and hear about my fantastic husband in the video below haha!
