Butterfly Challenge #121

I'm fluttering in at the last minute with a card for the latest Butterfly Challenge - quite by chance really because after I'd made the card I decided to take a look to see if it would fit any of the challenge colours or items this time.  How lucky that I'd chosen a dark purple for my main colour.  I started by colouring a piece of watercolour paper with inks and Pixie powders and printing a suitable background paper.  A circle was cut from the inked paper and the sentiment stamped into the centre; then the floral ring was cut from some pearl card before adding individual violas die cut from the inked scraps.  Finally I die cut a flourish and three butterflies to finish off this card, adding a few 'diamonds' for a bit of sparkle.

Snippets Time Again

It is time for the fortnightly Snippets challenge, #351 can be found HERE where Di has made us a pretty floral card for inspiration and of course the stamps she used are offered as a prize for whoever is lucky in the draw.

I've chosen to make a 'get well soon' card starting with an image made by using Mod Podge to adhere part of a paper serviette to a snippet of white card.  This was then die cut and layered up with various other snippets including an embossed panel left from a previous project, a pretty lace border cut from a snippet of pearl card.  There is even a tiny punched flower on the sentiment.  Some glitter was added to the seed heads but it doesn't show up well here.
