While rummaging through my snippets box, I found this pre-made butterfly already die-cut and layered with colors. When I first made it, I didn't like the color combo so I tossed it into the snippets box and forgot about it. I had just a few bits of orange cardstock left in a pack that matched the butterfly so that's how this butterfly card came together. The card base, orange panel and embossed panel were each die cut with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die. The embossed panel was done with an Anna Griffin Treillage EF. I added a big gemstone to the butterfly body along with 3 tiny ones to finish this card. I will add a sentiment to the inside when it's time to send this card.
I'll share this with the following challenges:
Sparkles Monthly Challenge #165 - no stamping allowed
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Lots of Layers
Cardz 4 Galz #201 - Use Dies/Punches
Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G using an EF *Optional twist - Wedding
That's it for me today, but thanks for stopping by and have a great Friday!
