Yesterday was Mum's birthday and this is the card I gave her. Mum loves dragonflies, however, I did not have a die so went for the next best thing my butterfly die from Creatables. I coloured it with my shimmer chalks and added the green pearl bling body. I layered up papers cut using my Marvellous Squares dies and a little bit of Swiss Dots embossing.
I was really happy with the end result and was proudly showing it off to my daughter when I discovered that the top of this card was the actual opening. Ooops! So glad I was giving this to a fellow crafter who I knew would totally understand.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting.
very elegant looking.

Such a perfectly pretty card. And I love the butterfly with the shiny centre and the green gems in the middle. So clean and classy, nothing like simplicity to make art stand out. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteBelated greetings to a lovely mum who has produced such a kind daughter like you,
