Flipped Butterfly

Welcome

My apologies for not returning sooner - I have been chasing some of my other hobbies as well as making cards - some of which I cannot share yet. 

 I have also been falling down You Tube (crafting) 'rabbit holes', and have joined a few extra Facebook groups related to some of the crafts I do....

We also had a spate of visitors in the evenings, which meant no computer time, so I got way behind on visiting others as well, but here goes with sharing this fun butterfly.

The butterfly was made with one of Uniko's Ink and Flip stencils, the Geometric Butterfly

I made this early in the year, and think I used Memento Dandelion and Lady Bug inks

I stenciled onto some 'mop up' card, which I had also used to clean the back of a stencil on.. soft colours but with some interesting patterns in amongst them.

 

to finish I added some clear bling, and a sentiment from a Darkroom Door set of stamps

I finished the inside with a strip of the background card

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog, your visits are appreciated.

I started this several days ago,  but time once more has moved more quickly than me, and I have spent the last 24 hours sneezing with the start of a cold... 

I would like to welcome my newest follower - Donna Ellis of Creative Smiles. Donna makes some beautiful cards, and I would encourage you to go have a look.

I started this card with a piece of card I had cut the lady out of - the die is an unmarked one

I layered the white card over a deep maroon, and added some gold sequins around the silhouette 

The sentiment was embossed in gold

And the edges sponged with Delicata Gold ink - I did managed to get this photo where the sparkle of the gold ink shows

There are two strips of washi tape layered on the card and the envelope.
