Butterfly card

A super quick post today.

This is the card I made for the Itsy Bitsy 'All That Glitters' Challenge. Now I am not a glitter kind of girl. I find it can become too harsh unless used judiciously. So I decided to go for a subtle look.

I was still working on the concept when I came across the Rainbow Colours Without a 'Rainbow' Challenge by Catchy Challenges. I thought the two concepts could be combined beautifully.

The base is a lightly textured cream card stock. I created the background on a white drawing paper with acrylic colours for Indigo and Blue. The grass is Green and the dotted flowers are Red, Orange and Yellow. So that takes care of the I, B, G, Y, O and R in the rainbow. The V of violet is the top butterfly. For the butterflies, I punched out an OHP sheet and applied glitter in shades of red, yellow orange and violet.




The green frame for the painting is cut on the Bigshot and mounted on mount board for depth as is the tag, which is hand cut.



The sentiment is from Micia stamps, stamped on the cream card stock with a black Faber Castell ink pad. To finish up. I layered and added some dark blue and pale blue satin ribbon. The glittered butterfly in pale yellow was the final touch.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Itsy Bitsy - 'All That Glitters' Challenge
Catchy Challenges - Rainbow Colours Without a 'Rainbow' Challenge
Crafty Calender June Challenge - Things with Wings
CASology: Week 50 - Free
Chocolate, Coffee & Card Challenge #41 - Bingo where I have used the middle line which is 'Ribbon, Glitter & Tag'

Hope you liked this card as much as I did. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Love,
