Techni-colour Butterflies

Welcome

I have been out in the garden a lot at the moment as it is spring here in the Antipodes and the weeds need to be removed and new vegetables planted.  I have also planted a 'bee' garden this year with lavender, marigolds and chives in it thus far.
This card is one I made for a relative who loves butterflies, so I never have to really think about what to put on her card :-).


The card is very simple with a piece of dp from an old Prima pad, Fairy Flora - one of my first ever purchases of patterned paper!!


The sentiment and butterfly flight paths were embossed with the Metallic Medley ep. It is very sparkly and hard to photograph in such a way to really show the true beauty of it.


The butterflies were cut from a scrap of card I 'played' with my gelatos on, and then coated with WoS.


The butterflies were cut with a Memory Box 'Pippi' die I bought at a stamp expo earlier this year.

    Very pretty butterflies Maxine and they go so perfectly on that background. I love the embossing powder, and I can see it's sparkle even if its true beauty doesn't show in the photo. Kate x

    This is so lovely. At first I thought it was a 'made' background, but then read the post. I have some of this paper too, so thanks for reminding me. It is just beautiful with the gelato colored butterflies, and the WoS looks great over the colors too. Looks very 'spring-ish', and nice to see, as we are gearing up for the autumn colors (if all the rain didn't wash the leaves from the trees). Have a great wkend, & TFS
