Tutorial: Copic Rainbow Butterfly Card
Hi everyone, it’s Ardyth and I’m here with a colourful, happy hello card today!
I started by creating my background, using my Mini MISTI and the Spring Wreath set. I stamped the wreath off the edges of my square panel, and then turned the panel before stamping again. Then I filled in any empty spaces with some of the single flowers in the set. This is a quick and easy way to create an all-over flower background. I trimmed the panel using a circle die and also stamped and die cut one of the butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies.
I coloured the butterfly with a rainbow of Copic markers and then started working on the background. Using another circle die, I lightly drew ‘trail’ lines from the butterfly, creating an area for some colouring. I coloured it in with the same Copic markers to create unity between the butterfly and the background.
I found that the contrast between the black ink and white cardstock on the rest of the circle panel was a bit distracting, so I coloured that area with a gray marker to tone it down and allow the focus to be on the colourful, magical butterfly trail!
I glued the body of the butterfly directly to the circle panel, and popped up the edge of the wings with some foam tape for dimension.
Enjoy browsing the Pretty Pink Posh Shop full of the new products. I hope you enjoyed the card and video.
That’s so colorful and awesome! :)
Really cool card especially the technique. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

Gorgeous!! Love the trail of color behind the butterfly and the gray tones to soften the busyness of the circle pattern. Thanks for the great tips and ideas!
I love this selective colouring …so creative!
Brilliant idea to catch the eye. I would love to give this a try for myself, thank God for the inspiration x
