Well, this card is an experiment of sorts since I was trying to improve my skills at coloring pleats and folds. Let's just say I need a lot more practice. LOL It was also a little break from my mini album project I gave you a sneak peek at. I'll have another peek coming up soon.
The image is from Phindy's Place and the papers are from a brand new 6 x 6 pad of Bo Bunny's Gabrielle that I purchased recently.
I added a lot of machine stitching cause I love to stitch on my cards. There's also some pretty antique lace that I caught on sale at Joann's. The butterfly was punched with a Martha Stewart punch, once out of vellum and secondly out of a dictionary page. Both layers were painted with Creative Inspirations Paint in a pretty sea foam color. The paint is so pretty and sparkly and a little goes a long way!
I'd like to enter the little friends in the following challenges:
Phindy's Place--doubling up (2 brads, 2 roses, 2 ribbons. 2 layers on the butterfly)
Crafty Cardmakers--flutterbies
Stamp Something--embellish it
Little Darlings--girly
Thanks for popping in!
