Shabby Chic Butterflies

The New Theme/ Colour
for my Butterfly Challenge is


Your buttons can be real or 
faux (i.e button EF, die cut buttons,
button design paper.)

Here is my inspiration for you.
I decided to go Shabby Chic
and had a sort through my stash.
This is the result.


I used pink card stock for the base and then 
layered up with bronze shimmer card stock.
I used Kraft card and a butterfly EF by Darice.
Covered in  Imagination Crafts Diamond Metallic paint
Edged with Liquid Pearls Copper Pearl.
Embellishments used are flowers,laser cut bird cage,
feather , laser cut banner and shabby chic butterfly cutouts.
Large  bronze edged button from my button box. 

Hope you will play along with the new challenge.

Love it very much!! It's soooo feminine with the gorgous comb and these lovely shabby butterflies!!! The feather gives a bit vintage feel to your card with the embossed bronze shimmering layer! Just fabulous!

Such a beautiful card. You are so creative. Love everything about it...the butterflies, the flowers, and the lovely background. Wonderful piece.

MaryH said...

Wow! These metallic are striking! I would never have thought to combine the metallic with the delicate small floral patterns in the tiny butterflies, but it's a beautiful look. Also love the EF too..Love that you've got the button theme going. Hope I can join in. Love my buttons, but paper ones are easier to mail! TFS & hope your weather is better tomorrow. Hugs
