Monochrome Butterfly Card

Welcome to my new follower, Lisa of A Mermaid's Crafts.  Pop over and visit her blog to see her lovely projects.  Lisa also has a generous 'Giveaway' for one of her lucky followers HERE.

The Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is 'Butterfly + Y for Yarn' and the Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Monochrome', so I chose shades of purple for my card and included a butterfly and yarn (thread).  I decided not to include a sentiment so it can be used for any occasion.
The scalloped circles were die cut with Spellbinder Nestabilities and lilac and purple thread wound round.  Both circles are attached with foam tape to give dimension.  The embossing folder is Embossalicious 'Floral Frenzy'.  The butterfly was die cut with a Stampin' Up Embosslits 'Beautiful Wings' die, which cuts and embosses at the same time.  I cut it out twice, in lilac and white, so I could double layer it, just attaching the top butterfly by the middle so the wings stand out. I then added tiny pearls for the body.  The butterfly corner punch is by Dovecraft.

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

  5. Whoo-Hoo YOU! I just saw that you've won on one of the blog hops (I'm scurrying round catching up comments, and it was at Pam's blog that I saw the announcement! Big Congrats!). I love the way you've done the Spirelli effect on the die (I hope I got that name right!). It's a wonderful way to interpret the yarn theme. Looks so pretty in the lavender & white, with the pretty embossing on the background, and the lavender pearls on the tiny white butterfly center. Great detail on the butterfly punched corners too. TFS & hugs.

  16. Your card is beautiful Liz, I love the colour scheme. I really like the way you wound the thread around the scalloped circle, what a great idea! It has a very "dream-catcher" look to it.
    Cheers,
