T his card was created using the new Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

Cut a sheet of Whisper White Card Stock down to standard card size - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
Cut a sheet of Watercolor Paper down to 5 x 5. This will be used for the background coloring of the butterflies.
Used the aqua painter on the clear block to completely wet the area you want to have as your background for your butterflies. The size is up to you.
Use 5 drops of the Coastal Cabana Re-inker on the block and mixed it well, leaving some of the edges uncolored.
Place the Whisper White card stock directly on the block, making sure to cover all the areas you want colored. Set aside to dry, or use the heat tool to speed up drying time.
On a sheet of Watercolor paper, spay a liberal amount of water to make sure the whole area that will be die cut is covered.
Spinkle several Brusho colors carefully in a random pattern, creating the back butterfly coloring.
(When opening Brusho, it's best to just use a push pin in the top, making one hole to use as a shaker. Store with the push pin in the top.Taking the lid off can create quite a mess, as Brusho is very fine and can spill easily.)
Allow both watercolored sheets to dry completely. Again, you can use the heat tool to speed up the process.
Take the Brushoed Watercolor paper and using the thinlit with the larger holes on the wings, run it through the Big Shot using the magnetic platform.
Cut the Black Foil sheet down to a 6"X6" sized sheet and run that through the Big Shot using the thinlit with the smaller holes on the butterfly wings.
You can use any adhesive you'd like to glue them together, but I used the Fine Tip Glue Pen. Glue the two dies together, then glue them onto the Whisper White card stock.
