Night Skies

Another week flown by (I'm sure they are jet propelled) and it's into the second week of

#75 Butterflies =+ R is for Repeats and/or the colour Night sky

so here is my next inspiration for you.

My first card literally is a Night Sky. The preprinted paper  is a freebie from Making Cards April 2016 called Starry Night which already came as a circle which just happens to fit my 3.5" punch exactly. 

I have cut an aperture into the card front using my Sizzix scalloped circles die cut and used the resulting cut out to adhere the image to and then in turn to the inside of the card lining it back up with the scalloped edging.  The repeat of butterflies are  (SU punch) and  paint sample swatches (that have been hanging around in my stash for ages) glued around the edge of the scallop. The black gems and black sentiment are also from my stash.  The paper on the inside of the card is again  a freebie from Making Cards April 2016.

Second card was even simpler to make. Just design paper a freebie this time from Paper Crafter magazine Jun 2016 by Hunkdory called Boutique Chic. Lots of repeat buterflies on here in pretty shades of dark blue and adhered to front of a card base. The picture frames are wooden MDF cut outs that I have coloured using my distress marker pen 'Chipped Saphire'. Again  I have used paint sample swatches but this time a woodware butterfly punch and white pearl gems. The frames have been attached straight onto the design paper and the butterflies have 3d pads behind them to raise them up. Sentiment is a silver glitter sticker. The frames are on straight but I had to take the picture at an angle so that the sentiment showed up clearly.
