Hello crafty friends on this blustery warm day in Australia.
I'm a huge fan of butterflies and was tempted to join the
Crafty Cardmaker's Challenge #262
calling for things with wings.
I used a shimmery pale green card stock for the base, before layering on a Sizzix thinlits die Cut, "Bouquet"
The Butterfly is also a Sizzix Thinlit, "Scribbly Butterfly"
I coloured it with DOX inks, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac. Then I added shimmer with Tim Holtz, "Bridal Tinsel" embossing powder.
The sentiment was stamped with Darkroom Door, "Happy Birthday" stamp and embossed with Tim Holtz, Silver embossing powder.
Thanks for calling in today, Happy Crafting and keep safe.
Hi Helen, I hope you are keeping well... WOW I love the die you have used for your card.. very pretty.. and love the butterfly too... I hope September brings you lovely memories!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, those are gorgeous dies. Thanks for joining in at Crafty Cardmakers and good luck with the challenge, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, Helen! I love the background die & how you beautied up the butterfly! We've got wildfires all around & terrible air quality from smoke & ash. So lucky we're not in the evacuation zone. Hard to see pictures of buildings burning that we've driven by many times.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
