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

    Hi Maxine! Lovely to think of you happily enjoying a bevy of crafts! Your mop-up panel makes a dreamy background for your geometric butterfly! I love the bold orange and yellow colors and the perfect dots of bling! Hugs, Darnell

    Beautiful card, Maxine! I love that butterfly. It's so creative with the geometric shapes. And that background is perfect! I'm glad you're doing some other hobbies too. I would love to see them when you can share! I've been working on some very old scrapbooking that needs to be done. But glad you took the time to share this with us at Word Art Wednesday! We love seeing what you've made! :)
