My third entry for the Butterfly Challenge, which this fortnight is 'Butterflies +Z is for Zero and/or Zucchini'. I didn't manage to include 'Zero' this time, so went with just the shades of 'Zucchini'.
The tree is from the Creative Expression 'Family Tree' set of dies, a Christmas present from a crafty friend. I die cut the tree from black card, attaching a piece of rainbow card behind with the green and yellow colours showing through where the leaves are. I die cut the tree again in white and inlaid the white die cut in the black card. The sentiment is a peeloff, attached to a Creative Expressions 'Stitched Flag' die cut. I punched a tiny butterfly from the rainbow card and added it to the sentiment panel.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Fabulous card, so classy! Love the shades of green-yellow! This die is a delight, another item in my wishlist! :D

Lovely card Liz!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one classy looking tree. Love how you have used the colour shaded paper underneath and then the white inlay for the trunk. Very striking against the black. Thank you for fluttering by again. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI love the white tree against the black background Liz and the stitched sentiment tag with the cute added little butterfly looks great with it. x
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely butterfly card for this brief. You are rocking the butterfly plus Zero or Zuchini!

Very clever way to meet the Z & butterfly challenge. The tiny butterfly on the sentiment was a cute idea. Enjoyed reading about the tree creation, and it certainly is pretty the way you've used this die. TFS & Happy New Year. Hugs (did I say that I'd seen some of your cards in a UK magazine I bought in the USA's JoAnn? I was thrilled to say "Oh I know her!")
ReplyDeleteYes, you let me know in a previous post. 😊 What a coincidence that you happened to buy the magazine a picture of my card was printed in! xx
DeleteThis really is a very striking card Liz. I love it. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Liz, I love the tree die! Super idea to use the rainbow card for the leaves too.

Well done, Liz, this is brilliant use of that tree die. Love the zucchini graduated colours in the leaves, very clever and such great contrast with the black background too.
