Hi, I was inspired to make this card by the challenge at Flutter by Wednesdays, to use Autumn colours and a butterfly or fairy on your project.
I die cut Memory Box Isabella butterfly as my base out of black card. I had distressed some water color paper for another project and used some of the leftovers to cut my top butterfly from the Pippi die. I also cut a top from black and glued the pieces back into the wings, fiddly but I like how it looks.
Since I used snippets I'm going to visit the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has an emboss it challenge. I used the tiny bubbles embossing folder as a background for my butterflies.
Seize the Birthday has an Anything Goes challenge as long as it's a birthday theme. You can also add a topping to your project if you want to.
Make it Monday is also anything goes and to share creativity.
Thanks for visiting :)

Absolutely beautiful Cathy! Love how you did the butterflies - I've been staring at them and got confused - did you cut a black one with the solid die, then the lacy one in the lighter colour and then another lacy one in black so you could fill in all of the spaces by using both black and the lighter colour? In other words, the top layer is flat when you run your finger over it - with a mix of black and lighter colour infills? Sheesh, you sure have some patience but the result is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
Yep, one solid black base, a coloured lacy one and a black lacy one. I thought the black base would be enough but I liked the black infill better. So yes, it is smooth when you rub it! LOL, Cathy x

I knew to win the Lotto so I can buy those beautiful dies. Fabulous use of snippets, a really elegant card, love it xx
ReplyDeleteCathy, love these marvelous butterflies on your bubbles folder. A perfect pairing against that dark base. I expect putting those black bits back inside was more than a bit fiddly, but it is so stunning. You must have very steady fingers and some good tweezers. I'd have such a mess if I try this. Yay for these wonderful MB dies! You use them so well. Glad you got a laugh from the toilet post...can't you just picture the situation. Was going to email it to some folks, decided to post instead. Hope I don't offend anybody!!! TFS
ReplyDeleteLovely card-beautiful butterflies-and I do LOVE butterflies!
