I seem to have a bit of a thing bout butterflies at the moment and here's another!
This follows the sketch from Colours and Sketches this time
I used a Sizzix border folder for the horizontal embossed panel and some pieces of card from my scraps drawer with the remains of some squished flower pressing.
I shortened the Dienamics pierced, fish tail pennants slightly and to begin with had the base of the butterfly in the coloured card and the top white, but decided that it looked better the other way round.
Considering the fact that I mis-cut the smaller pennant the first time when shortening it, then decided to do the butterflies the other way round, I was lucky to have just enough card left to cut out the Sizzix love sentiment.
I was pleased in the end!
Beautiful card, Chrissie!!!! The colours are beautiful and the embossed and die-cut butterflies are simply stunning!!!!! Love it!!!
