#73 Butterflies + G is for Glossy Accents and/or S is for Slate Blue. Here are my inspiration cards for you.
The first one uses an old favourite of mine Stickeroos. The main flower image/butterfly is from Paris Je Taime #10-199 and the string of flowers on the side are from Belle Fleurs #10-024. I have adhered to the dark slate blue card stock which has been raised on 3D pads. The light slate blue backing card has been distressed round the edges and added to a scalloped white card base. The sentiment is a Britannia word die that I have die cut four times and glued each piece together for dimension. To finish I have covered with Glossy Accents.
You can just about see the gloss in the picture below.

This second card uses a design paper that I got in a batch on Ebay but have no name for. Trimmed down and adhered behind a die cut frame from Crafts-Too Rectangle dies stitch hole. Lighting is particularly bad but internet is playing up too so have gone with the photos that I have already downloaded. I have used the die cut butterfly from Memory box called 'Terrace' to cut a butterfly from shrink plastic. I coloured with a slate blue promarker pen and when shrunk coated with glossy accents into which I embedded white gems before it had time to set. The sentiment is again a Britannia word die that I have die cut 4 times and layered up leaving as is this time.
I do hope you will find the time to play along with this new challenge.
