Hi from sunny Hampshire. I hope everyone is still keeping safe and well, despite the confusing advice we are now being given about going out and about again!
Our challenge today at Crafty Cardmakers is butterflies. I have to say I am personally missing the dragonflies and damselflies that I would normally be seeing when I take my dog out down to the river on my mobility scooter, but I am shielding so we are stuck in and all we can see are pigeons pooping on my scooter cover!
I created my card with some Crafters Companion products. The gorgeous butterfly diecut is from them as is the pretty backing papers.
I diecut the butterfly from the lilac paper and then used it as a background behind the die cut butterfly, when I matted it over another of CC’s lovely papers. The other matting layer is white glitter card, which I cut the die sentiments from and also another butterfly layer. There are now two butterflies fluttering in the gap that the original one was cut from.
The sentiments are all from Studiolight.

Loving that butterfly Lin, so delicate.
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky that I can go out for my walk every day, I can't imagine what it would be like to be stuck at home all day, every day. I quite enjoy being at work because at least I get to see people for a few hours a day.
Hope that you are safe and not going too stir crazy.

Gorgeous Lin, love how you have used the flower paper and wonderful large die cut butterfly to follow our challenge theme :) Thank you so much for joining us this fortnight at International Art & Soul. Hugs Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteEnchantingly beautiful card! I adore the sentiment, believe in it firmly as a (fellow) Pagan witch, and am reminded of the classic Roald Dahl quote, "those who don't believe in magic will never find it" (to which I would add, despite existing in a universe where it is around them constantly at all times).
