Butterfly Card

I had a go at making a butterfly card from a template featured on Cardmaking Paradise

 

I went down the stamping 'route' and embossing 'route', but couldn't get a result I was happy with, so decided on using a piece of Chinese silk that really shines in sunlight.

I coloured the two pieces of card with ink and added a quote

I hope you are sitting down because...............

I was inspired by Inky Fingers to have a go at this.

I have made a Christmas card - sort of.

The stamp isn't a Christmas stamp, but I loved it as soon as I saw it.  As usual the photo is rubbish, so that you can not see that I have rubbed glittery stickles over it, which really transform it.

I have painted it around the butterfly wings, and brushed it on the bare branches and I think that it looks like frost in the first light of the morning.  I actually am happy with this card except for one little thing which you might spot or might not!
