Butterfly Birthday

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

I got another card done over the weekend.  I'm hoping to get it into
a challenge before it closes.


I found an alcohol inked piece of vellum in my stash and used it with my
Stitched Butterfly.  I also cut a plain piece of vellum to put underneath to five
this butterfly a little more body.

The square piece that the butterfly is perched on was a leftover from watercoloring
a leaf branch.

It's all added to a card base made of Tim Holtz watercolor paper.

The stitches didn't show up well so I used a white gel pen over them to make
them stand out.


Challenges:
Just Us Girls #767 - Mood Board below. I was inspired by the green butterfly
Seize the Birthday #301 - Anything That Flies

Such a pretty butterfly in green, Bonnie. I also like the way you grounded him with the faint appearance of grass. That is one of your talents for sure. You are always so good at the extra details. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday!
