The base layer for this card was retrieved from the bin after I had thought that it was not good enough to use on a card. In fact I think that it was thrown away because it didn't turn out as I had hoped, but after a quick spray with glitter mist I thought it might be OK for the backdrop for these butterflies... and in fact I'm really pleased with the effect.
The die is from Memory Box used within a panel cut with a SSS stitched rectangle. The sentiment is from Tattered Lace (I think).
The challenge at the Card Concept is this
The butterfly Effect!
I remember a time when I had to hand cut a butterfly that I need for a card, now I have heaps of dies and stamps and still continue to buy more... I just love them!
This is also for a new Memory Box Challenge entitled Outside the Box

GREAT SAVE!!! The blended colors are beautiful - love the transition from shades of green to blue. Don't you just love the stitched border? It seems to add the perfect finishing touch to a card! Thanks for sharing your pretty creation with us at the Card Concept Challenge :)
ReplyDeleteYour stacked butterflies fit perfectly on that saved piece. This card is lovely I especially love that white on white sentiment, so difficult to photograph sometimes.
