.....there would be no butterflies'. I love that sentiment, which came with a 'pre-loved' SU butterflies stamp set. And someone who studies butterflies is known as a '
Lepidopterist'............yay, got today's big word in without any trouble!
As ever, I worked myself into a corner here yesterday and have just done some
serious tidying up - and it isn't even 10am yet :) In the process of tidying I came across some backgrounds that I made using the brayer and embossing folders - the post about how I did this is
here. In a flash, I just made this:
The background really did all the work - I just stamped the butterfly sentiment and added a butterfly, the body of which I blinged up a bit with self-adhesive gems from my stash - leaving the wings to stay free. The butterfly is one of a few that
Lavinia sent me - they're die cut from felt-like material (possibly using a Marianne Designs die?) and are so delicate and pretty.
Another short and sweet one today :)

ReplyDeleteI really love this card Di. It's in my fave colours and the butterfly looks light enough to fly away.

Don't you love how some cards come together so quickly? So tell us...how long did it take you to make the background when you made it? Not a bad idea though Di...play and store your work for a later date. Hmmmm, I'll keep that in mind!
ReplyDeleteThe background was incredibly quick to make - just inking the side of an embossing folder with the indentations in using a rainbow type of inkpad and a brayer. Sandwich card in the folder and run through the Cuttlebug. The time consuming part was cleaning up after I'd finished playing :) Di xx
ReplyDeleteI think we learnt this background at the craft workshop we went to didn't we Di??? Stamp is a Big and Juicy I believe, I haven't got one but it looks wonderful...!
ReplyDeleteWOW this is Stunning Di! Love the colors and of course you know I'm nuts for butterflies and this one is fantastic.
