Butterfly Cards

 Hi Everybody,

For both of these cards today I have used butterflies that where simply lying in my bit box.

I have used two of the shapes and layered them together so that the wings are layered and the top wing has been curled a little to give movement.

I also found some Diamante butterfly shapes that I have added to the top of the wings and that gives a beautiful shimmery effect.

The leaves in the background are from a layering die set that I have water coloured to give the shading.

The flower on this card has been stamped and heat embossed in white powder and the water coloured.

I have added a pearl centre to the petals and then foam pads to raise it up from the card.

Both are far prettier in the hand and sparkle really well in the light.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
