Use a stencil

I drew and cut this stencil with my Silhouette. It's made from acetate and so can be used over and over again. I used Sweet Poppy Pearlescent White embossing paste, which gives a lovely sheen.
The butterfly is cut from a Memory Box pair of dies. The top layer cut from vellum and then coated with Wink of Stella in Black. Sadly the hints of gold don't show up in this picture. The sentiment is from Penny Black and it's finished off with a few pearls and black studs.
It's for Addicted to CAS's challenge  - Stencil

I am dedicating this card to my bloggy buddy June.
Have a wonderful birthday June

  2. Gorgeous card Chrissie!! LOVE the pearlescent embossed chevrons --- so pretty!! The butterfly is so beautiful and what a great idea to cut it from vellum and add the WOS in black ... gives it so much color, yet still looks transparent -- wow!! Thanks for joining us at ATCAS. Loll xx
