The theme this fortnight for the Butterfly Challenge is 'Butterflies + S is for Stamping and/or Sapphire'. The challenge closes later today, so I'm sneaking in a last minute entry.
I'm not sure the shade of blue counts as 'sapphire', although the tips of the butterfly are sapphire, but there is definitely stamping! I used my favourite butterfly stamp, 'Zen Butterfly' by Lavinia. It was stamped with a black Memento ink pad and coloured with three shades of blue Promarkers. The whole butterfly was covered with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush. I used Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangles' to die cut the image. The blue background was embossing with a Spellbinders 'Dainty Dots' embossing folder and shows up more IRL, so I resisted the temptation to add any more embellishments. I punched a border from a snippet of white card, which was attached with foam tape, enabling the main part of the card to stand up. Two white flower brads and a sentiment finished off my card.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteJust fluttered in in time. I love the way the beautiful butterfly is the focal point here on your easel. I also love the colours (I'm sure one of them is Sapphire!)
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see you over at the Butterfly Challenge.
I don't know whether that is sapphire blue, but it certainly is a beautiful card. Cara x
ReplyDeleteA lovely easel card which sets your butterfly off perfectly. I love the shades of blue and as you have used the colour and stamping your card will be entered twice. Thankyou for fluttering by. It looks like quite a few have fluttered in at the last minute and taken me by surprise.

Your card is beautiful Liz, you've done a wonderful job colouring the butterfly. I love all the other elements of your easel card too... the embossing looks great, the punched edge is lovely and the simply sentiment is perfect. Well done.
