Glitter and Butterflies

A birthday card for a crafty friend who will be 60 this weekend.  She loves butterflies and glitter, so I wanted to include both.

The butterfly is made up with two Memory Box dies,  'Darla' and 'Vivienne'.  The pink/purple glitter card is from a pound shop.  Against purple, the glitter card looks pink and against pink it looks purple, but it is a really beautiful colour.  The embossing was done with a Creative Expressions 'Butterfly Dreams', with just a thin strip of the glitter card between the embossed and the plain card.  I didn't have any pearls the right colour, so I coloured white ones with a Promarker in the same colour as the glitter card.   

 I am joining in the following challenges:

    A really lovely card for your friend. I am sure she will love it.

    Great idea to colour your pearls with ProMarkers.

    Hope all is well with you.

    This is so pretty Liz and love the purple glitter card and the CE embossing folder is perfect along the bottom half, and a great idea to colour the pearls to get just the right match. x

    CAS and elegant spring to mind when looking at this card. That is a nifty idea to colour white pearls with your marker pen to get the right colour. Such a simple idea but not one I thought of. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel this week. Hugs Mrs A.

    Such a beautifully feminine card Liz! Your embossing is a joy and it is such a pretty folder top use. The added pop of colour with sparkle must make this amazing to see in real life. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
