Butterfly Card



        We just had two beautiful July-like days over the weekend…in fact, you can add today to that list! The A/C is definitely back on! No rain is expected until near the end of the week either.

         Today’s card is another one that turned out better than I thought it would. I was still using up the bits and pieces of an old 8x8 paper pack and had no idea how I was going to arrange things. 


         The main part of the card…the butterfly paper…. is some paper from the pack. It was glued to a piece of cardstock that closely matched the butterflies…although it doesn’t appear so in the photo….you’ll have to trust me on this one. Then gold peel-off lines were added to the sides of the butterfly paper and a die cut fence across the bottom. Then it was glued to another purple/pink card base…which also doesn’t look like the real colour….darn lighting where I photograph these is getting worse! Anyway, once everything was glued down I added thick gold peel-offs around the edge to act like a frame. If you look closely you will see tiny gold dots in all the centres of the flowers – those are the gold peel-offs left over from lifting fancy peel-off lines. Do not throw these out…use every bit of them! The sentiment is also a gold peel-off. This is o much prettier in real life because everything actually matches! I may have to change where I photograph these cards.

        That’s all for a beautiful Monday, September 17, 2018.

 Cheers
