Doubled Butterfly!

Hey Friends! WOW! what a night at work, I spent most of the night, running from one end to the next, we were truly flat out like a lizard drinking! So pleased to be home and I can officially start my weekend.

I hope that you all enjoyed the sharing links that I had on my blog post yesterday, there was so many wonderful creations and for that matter, so much inspiration. At the end of the posting yesterday I mentioned that I would have a special announcement her on the blog later this week, well to keep you more in suspense but a little hint, there will be a week long fun time here on the blog! So be sure to check in here Monday to see what will be happening.

Okay, now onto tonight's card, yet another card designed for Purple Onion Designs.

I totally love the Vintage Butterflies, I stamped two different sizes onto white card stock and coloured in with my Copics, trimming around each and adhering together. Taking more white card stock and the Late 1800's Script background stamp, that was inked with Antique Pewter ink and stamped onto the white card stock, trimming around the edge on the card stock and sewing around the edge for more added effect, applying Antique Linen distress ink to soften. I trimmed a piece of white card stock to form a tag and stamped a sentiment, adding more Antique Linen distress ink to the edges. Adhering the butterflies and the tag to the background and adhered this to a trimmed blue card. Finally adding rhinestones to the butterfly and tag to complete the card.

Okay I am now off to put the footsies up and relax..

Have a great night!

Hugs

Joy, you and the butterflies have influenced my stamp purchasing of late! I finally bought the Hero Arts Butterflies and cannot wait to stamp with them...I don't have Copics, yet but I did purchase my first one today!! It's a neutral for making shadows around my images- it's a start!!!
Gorgeous card:)
