Welcome.
Thanks for visiting my corner of blog-land again.
This will be my last post for a week or so as the surgeon and I have an appointment tomorrow for some much needed maintenance....
This is a card I created for someone who loves butterflies.

I decided to use this mosaic technique for a feature panel.
The 'tiles' are scraps randomly cut up, adhered with craft glue and coated with gloss modge podge.
The panel was mounted over a pink base (don't know what happened to this photograph) which I had splattered with water colour paint flicked off a damp brush. The sentiment was stamped with a slightly lighter distress ink.
The butterfly was cut with a cuttlebug die and embossed - I used a layer of pink card and mounted an embossed vellum layer over it, then added liquid pearls.

Thank you for visiting, and any comments left are deeply appreciated.
May your day be blessed.

Super fun, Maxine! I love the splootches in the backdrop and an amazing quilt like look to your card - what a wonderful burst of color! Many prayers to you, sweet friend - I hope/pray today goes well for you :)
Love the mosaic panel, Maxine! What a creative way to use up some paper scraps. And the butterfly is gorgeous, of course! It's been a good year for butterflies here, and with the hot weather they have often been seen sunbathing on the path. Your card reminds me of that!
I hope your "maintenance" goes well.
