Billions of Butterflies

 

Hello
 
Welcome to my little crafting place!
 
It's my dear friend Shabneez's turn to set the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers this week: 

This week I am challenging you to use butterflies on your cards.  

I don't think I've seen as many butterflies this summer in the garden before.  I'm a huge fan of butterflies and I'd love to see them on your cards - the more, the merrier!

If you're anything like me, you'll use them to add interest to your cards or as a focal point. 


To begin I made a paintstroke background using watered down Nuvo mousse in a pink shade.
I cut  a 'swoosh' shape with edging dies from a piece of card hot-foiled with a dotty hot-foil stamp and both pink and silver foils.
I used three sizes from a dotty circle die cut in silver glitter card and adhered them on the card
From sveral shade of pink card I cut three butterflies, they are from different die sets - I have quite a few butterfly dies, they are a big favourite!
The sentiment is from a Spellbinders Glimmer stamp and cut hot foil set
To finish I added a few tiny circles and stars cut from silver and datk pink card
 
If you'd like to buy anything from Spellbinders it would be fab if youd use my Affiliate Link  - it doesn't cost you anything but it helps me buy more stash and is much appreciated! 

Apologies for the rubbish photos, I tried a couple of times but couldn't do better, I guess because I wanted the butterflies to stand out and this makes a lot of shadow!

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
