Hi, Friends.......
I am here with a pretty card I made for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge. The challenge this time is Butterfly + S for Stamping and/or S for Sapphire. How could I resist that prompt????
I pulled out some super-shiny foil holographic sheets my son gave me for Christmas (THANKS, James!) and started die cutting with my Serendipity - Floral Butterfly dies. (This plastic material is a bit tricky to cut, so some of the intricate butterflies didn't cut all the way through. I think I see a mixed media project in the future for those hapless partially-metamorphosed creatures that resulted!)
 |
| I wish the pale silver sentiment showed up better here. It says: "Sending prayers your way" |
Other supplies used include:
My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Oval STAX die set
Memory Box - Gwyneth Flourish
Distress Inks - Chipped Sapphire, Pumice Stone
Versamark Ink
Silver embossing powder
Scraps from my stash for the die cut oval and the sentiment panel
Hope you enjoyed my card. It took me forever (and I do mean 4-ever!) to make it, but I have lots of die cuts and coordinating things leftover to use another time. lol.... Anyway, I totally LOVE how it turned out.
Thank you for visiting and leaving your sweet comments!!!

ReplyDeleteIt is good to see you over at the Butterfly Challenge.
Oh this is gorgeous. I love that butterfly. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteWow! I absolutely LOVE this card! I love the holographic butterfly and that Gwyneth Flourish die looks amazing paired with that beautiful butterfly die! Everything about this card is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at the DL.ART February Linky Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many details in this beauty! So glad that you join the fun over Simon Says Stamp Wednesday “Shake It Up” Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis was totally worth all the time it took Janis, and I love that holographic paper! I'll bet it was frustrating to end up with partially metamorphosed butterflies, but I'm sure you'll figure out a way to use them eventually! That flourish die adds a wonderful sense of movement to this design and the vertical patterns of the paper send that butterfly up up and away! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteStunning. I love the holographic butterfly. It was definitely worth the time. Some luck person will enjoy this beautiful card. Thank you for entering the DL.ART Thankful Thursday February LinkyChallenge, Katie-DTmember
