Yellow butterfly


Hi, I was inspired to make this card by the colour challenge at
Love these colours, and since it's Spring over here I thought I'd try something other than an autumn card. My card is in the clean and simple category.

The butterfly is painted with twinkling H2Os, so it's quite shimmery IRL. The die cut leaves are coloured with distress inks.

I'm also linking up to the CAS challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More,
and to the anything goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday.

At CASology the theme is flutter.

Supplies:
PTI impression plate; Hero Arts antique engravings butterfly stamp; Memory Box Lorelai Leaf die; punch bunch flower punch; twinkling H2Os; distress inks; sentiment sticker.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Thanks for visiting,
 Cathy x
