Muse butterfly

The Muse card at the moment is of a super die cut butterfly.

 Here it is... 

I decided to use a piece of card which I had coloured by squishing some flowers through my Cuttlebug. In fact, in the piece I used, you can actually see the shape of the petunia which met its end this way!

From this, I die-cut the butterfly and then from the remaining piece die-cut the rectangle to surround it.

I stamped the sentiment from LOTV  in a sympathetic colour and twinkled the butterfly with a little Glamour Dust. I like the contrast in texture between the hammered card base and the flat coloured piece.

I made a second card with a slightly different method, colouring a piece of card with Aqua Tint inks and then stamping some foliage in black and embossing it in gold. The butterfly is merely die-cut and attached over the panel.

Here the sentiment is from a Tattered Lace die.

The butterfly is from Memory Box.
