Hi, Friends......
I am here with a simple stenciled butterfly card for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge. This time the prompts are Butterfly + G is for Glitter and/or G is for Grape. Sweet! I managed to do both with my purple sponged background and my butterflies that are heat embossed with a glittery white powder.
I started with a fuschia colored card base, although you can't tell because of my sponging. :) I used the lovely butterfly stencil from my Artistcellar - Tam's Whimsy Series 4-stencil set. I held it firmly in place and smooshed Versamark ink through the design. I also stamped the little "nature" sentiment from my Mark's Finest Papers - Nature's Brushstrokes stamp set with Versamark. Then I heat embossed with this super-glittery white powder. The sparkle didn't photograph well, but you can see it a tiny bit better in this next photo.
Do you like this simple card? I like it a lot. It was fun and fast to make. I really need to use my stencils more often!!! Which of your supplies do you need to get out and play with this coming week?
Thank you for stopping by!! Hope your weekend is a great one.

ReplyDeleteA wonderful CAS card, thanks for joining us at MAWTT, xxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effect with the sparkled butteflies. They do show up in your photo. I love the colour of your background. I have to be so careful when I play with anything messy as hubby has severe OCD and I daren't use/leave anything out that could be tipped over. I tend to do most of my messy making out in the garden in the summer where it doesn't matter. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice into the draw. Hugs Mrs A.
