Another Patterned Paper Butterfly

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


When I was making this card, I stamped this butterfly with black on another piece of
the same patterned paper.  Heat embossing made the black really intense!

I decided to set it off the edge of a watercolor piece from my background box.

I added the delicate Airy die cuts and a few black gems to jazz it up.

Challenges:
Four Seasons - Spring
Penny Black Saturday -  Patterned Paper

Just as beautiful as your other card with the white embossed butterfly. Love this one in black with the colors and it looks great on that lovely background.

Did I mention that we saw our first butterfly on the island, too? It was a little too far away to identify but it sure did have round wings like your beauty!
I must remember to stamp onto patterned paper - it's fabulous as is your card!

Beautiful Bonnie - I sure would like to rummage through your background box. It would be a fun treasure hunt. I do like the background of your creation.

I love the pretty washy background and the striking black, pink and orange butterfly, and finished with those delicate white die cut leaves is just perfect Bonnie. x

Beautifully stamped, heat embossed die cut butterfly on your pretty paper, Bonnie. I love how you used your watercolored background from your stash too. I finally got a chance to play with the GO7 technique..alcohol ink on Gelli Plate cardstock technique and ended up with 14 backgrounds:-) So far I have 7 finished card fronts...now to finish all into cards and take photos, etc. Not much crafting time with Spring always being such a busy gardening, etc time of year. A few minutes here and there:-) Love and hugs..Nancy

Wow, I love this card, Bonnie! Your butterfly is gorgeous, and the colors of the background complement the butterfly so well. The intense black accents here and there are so effective and look awesome!

Bonnie, this card is gorgeous! Love the bold black, but also the light and summery feel from the background. This is a really beautiful card

Isn't fabulous how a partial image can have a greater impact on the eye, than the full image. Gorgeous example here.

Darnell said...

This is so striking, Bon! I love the wonderful way you designed this beauty using a scrap background, wisp of leaves, and off-set stunning butterfly! The mat, touch of bling, and simple sediment are mwah! Love, Dolly
