Butterfly Card


        We are having a nice gentle rain this afternoon and it has now cooled off – no more hot and humid weather for a few days.
        Here is one of the cards I have made from the dismantled card failure from last week’s post. Very little goes to waste in my crafting space – whether it is paper crafting or sewing.
                      
         The light paper on top of the yellow card base is from my stash and yellow paint was splattered on it to add a little interest.
       The butterflies and the sentiment were die cut from the solid yellow cardstock. The designer strip is from the dismantled card as well…the edges were softly inked with brown ink. These butterflies do not have a solid background so I had to hand cut one out of black…..they were not showing up well against the designer cardstock and needed the black behind them.
        The sentiment was outlined with a thin black ink and then covered with Glossy Accents. Then the sparkly gems were added around the sentiment and one each to the butterflies.
        It turned out ‘okay’; definitely not my favourite, but ‘okay’.
        That’s all for a rainy Friday on May 29, 2020. Have a safe and creative weekend everyone. If at all possible, perform a random act of kindness for someone. You never know how a simple act of kindness can turn someone’s life from despair to happiness and hope.
Cheers
Violet
