A Bevy of Butterflies

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

A while back, Donna Mikasa posted this butterfly card and I LOVED it! 

Still do.  Thank you for the inspiration and enablement, Donna.

I found the die online and ordered it.  As usual it sat in my NBUS box

for too long.

Finally....I cut some butterfly shaped cards in various colors and we made 

butterfly cards in Craft Group this month.

This was my example and very close to Donna's design.

We used the same embossing folder that Donna used as I couldn't get any more

perfect than that.  

I'd die cut lots of flowers in different colors so the gals could arrange them however

they wanted and make the card theirs.

I had an assortment of different colored sticky rhinestones for them to use in the

center of the flowers.  Some of us punched tiny circles from the scraps of gold foil.

I'd had these wires of pink beads for a few years and was glad to finally find a

use for them.

For variety, I cut some from different colors.

I cut quite a few extras.

For a brighter version I cut from yellow cardstock and lightly sponged with

yellow ink before adding the flowers.

This one has white ink sponged on the embossing and a piece of vellum cut

with one of the smaller dies from this set.

I love the soft blue with the purplish flowers!

This yellow butterfly has white inked sponged over top and a copper paper body.

I'll be back soon with another card using this butterfly.

I really had fun with this set!

Challenges:
