Same but different #6

It’s time for the "Same but different" February challenge. For more information about this challenge, click HERE.  

Here is a peek at the die we used this month – "Chrissy Butterfly" from Simon Says Stamp:

And this is my take on this die:

At first, I created a colorful watercolor background and left it dry. Then I used the "Camouflaging Die Cuts" technique for the "Chrissy Butterfly". Once I die-cut the butterfly directly from my watercolored paper, I adhered some tape behind the die-cut opening. To add dimension, I die-cut the butterfly 5 more times from black cardstock. Then I glued all pieces together with the colored one on top. I cut one more piece from vellum and fixed it on top, with just a glue dot in the center. To finish it off, I inlaid the stacked butterflies to the card base on the tape. I stamped the sentiment "You brighten my day" from the Technique Tuesday stamp set called "Hello Sunshine" in black and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. At last, I added some rhinestones, sequins and voilà… It is a super simple but cheerful card and a great way to get die-cuts in the focal point!

Now hop over to Anja's blog to see what she did for the challenge!
