Fluttering By


This is my entry for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge 92 and I have combined it with Papertake Weekly 32.

The sketch comes from Papertake Weekly as follows:-
Flutter By Wednesday was an open challenge as long as a butterfly, fairy or angel were included in the project.

I have had this gorgeous new stamp from Graphicus for a while now and nowhere to use it. It's very large almost 6" square and so pretty much covers a standard card. I stamped it with versafine and embossed with black sparkle powder. Unfortunately the camera has not captured the lovely sparkle of the black areas of the butterfly. I coloured it with Inktense watercolour pencils. The butterfly has curled beautifully due to the watercolouring and looks like it is fluttering off the card.


I used a 10x7 card and chopped it down to
7" square, covered it in some paper that was a freebie with Creative Cardmaking Magazine and also the three mats on top came from the same issue. Before I assembled it I realised that I didn't like the colour of the bottom layer of paper so I tinted it with Memento Inkpads and also used the same inkpads, different colour, to edge the top three mats and the central mat, which I had previously run through the Big Shot with a texture plate of butterflies.

The paper ribbon trim comes from K&Co's Que Sera range, and the three small butterflies are chopped from a length of butterfly ribbon. I created the sentiment on my pc and cut it out with a small nestie label.
After all the snow it's nice to think that spring is around the corner and we might soon be seeing butterflies for real, although not this size I hope!

I'm off now for a trawl around the Flutter By designers to see if I can locate the gorgeous blog candy they have on offer.
