The butterfly is part of a two piece die that I have begged, borrowed and stolen from Fluff in the past but she finally relented and gave it to me as part of my Chirstmas present. Yay!!!
I love this die to bits so all I can say is watch this space in future months.
It was a joy to get back to using Pink after the last few cards being in blue. The tiny, tiny butterflies are acutally what gets punched out from a Tonic Studios border punch that I have. (Well you didn't think I was going to throw them out did you!!!!) After glueing them + my fingers + anything else I touched I managed to get them stuck on the card. Sentiment was created in word and printed out onto cream/ivory paper. Again the shaped window is what was left from cutting and using the inside shape on another card. I added a few gems to the butterfly to mimic the design of the wings. The pink paper underneath has a swirl pattern on it that the die cut swirl reflects in mirror image which you can see better in the close up below.

So elegant and the butterfly is a nice touch. Saw this on MIM and had to come over for a closer look. Hugs Desíre {Doing Life - my personal blog}
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely Mrs A, gorgeous butterflies and beautiful colour too and layout xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I like how you used the little butterflys as well. p.s. My doggie shouldn't grow much bigger now, but she thinks she's a rotweiller!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely. Love those tiny butterflies together with the larger one - very decorative indeed!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Mrs A and so pretty in pink, the butterfly is a really pretty design and hats off to you for being so patient with the teenie weenie ones :) Donna ♥ x
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Mrs A!
ReplyDeleteHave you made the Snow Donkey yet? Plenty of snow here if you want some!!

If this is just the leftover bits I can't wait to see the other cards. Lovely work. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card...love that filligree butterfly punch and flourish!
ReplyDeleteI like to save the cutaway bits from borders...I have teensy plastic/acrylic envelops I got at Daiso (Japanese $2 store). They are perfect for storing teensy bits like that. I bought a bag of 100 a couple of years ago and still have tons left.
Glad to hear your purge/sort went well...I have been redoing my craft room. I had done it before surgery with everything up at waist level as i couldn't bend for several weeks. Now I am OK'd to bend to I have reorganized it yet again! teehee
I had to label everything as I wouldn't remember otherwise!!!
I am finished in the room itself but now need to tackle the closet under the stairs which my overflow crafts spill into:(
Must remember my mantra...one drawer at a time...
I love all these butterflies and the flourish! You have a lovely and generous friend.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were begging. That butterfly is fabulous. It looks wonderful fluttering on your card. Butterflies and sparkle two of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and hope it gets here to Australia in time for who ever...love your two underneath too which I have not seen...fab cards..luv annie
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. I love that butterfly and you've framed it so beautifully. ann y.

Pretty! I have a Memory Box butterfly die that has offcuts about the same size, and yes, I keep them to stick on other projects too! That wavy trimmer I have that you liked the sound of was on my desk last Wednesday, WOYWW 189 post, if you want a gander at it. It's by Creative Memories and I bought it off a girl at work who had no more use for it, for $5!!

If you want a proper SplodgeAway mat, this is the link. If it does not work, have a look on my blog for the logo at the top left, and click on that and it will take you directly to their blog site. http://www.splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteYour little butterflies must have been horrendous to handle and stick, but very well worth the effort. Have a good week and enjoy your mat when it comes. By the way, they do three sizes - A3, 12x12 inches, and 8x8 inches. Just choose the size hat will fit best on your work table. I have the 12x12, which is fine for what I want. There are ideas on their blog of how to use it and all the many uses it has. xx Maggie
Gorgeous, I love pink! The butterfly is such a must have (could you let me know the make please) as I think I must have it too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lizx

ReplyDeletePink is a really nice colour to work with, happy and gentle. You are like me, we don't waste a thing. Butterflies are wonderful. I wish we had pink butterflies floating round the garden. Do you think if there were pink butterflies they would have pink caterpillars
