Buttermilk Butterfly

The challenge this time on the Butterfly Blog is Z for Zodiac and/or B for the colour buttermilk.  I'm afraid the Zodiac stumped me this time but I did colour a piece of card to a buttermilk colour using Pixie Powders.  I stamped a steampunk butterfly and embossed in gold and layered it onto some black.  Another piece of black card was embossed with an 'industrial' style folder and rubbed with gold to enhance the pattern.  Background was from a selection of kraft papers from Tim Holtz with some resist built in which was revealed when sponged with brown Distress ink.  Finally a sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of the buttermilk card and that's it really - my entry for the butterfly challenge this time.


Background - resist embossed kraft card from Tim Holtz
Butterfly stamp - from a steampunk set from Chocolate Baroque
Embossing folder - Sizzix Tim Holtz
Sentiment - Tim Holtz stamp set

    Hi Val

    A really great card .. .. I love the steampunk butterfly and that industrial looking embossing folder .. .. they work so well together.

    I have been having a backtrack on your blog and was sad to read about your bus service being cut. What a blow that must be. I hope they reconsider and it becomes available to you. It is important to be able to escape a little .. .. especially for a coffee and a chat with the outside world.

    Many thanks for the lovely comment you left me.

    Love Jules xx
