This afternoon I was rummaging through my box of goodies I bought from ebay a while back and dragged this butterfly out - again. I had looked at it previously and was flummoxed on how to use it. So today I bit the bullet so to speak and got on with it
I used one my my gel plate acrylic backgrounds for the background and the butterfly. I die cut it off to the side on the card front panel. For the background I used my fave embossing folder from Paper Discovery and wiped a small amount of purple Inka gold over the raised areas. I mounted the front panel to the backing and placed the butterfly die cut over the top and cut it inline with the card front.
I punched 2 smaller butterflies using same background and placed them on the edge and again cut the excess off.
The sentiment I found on the internet ages ago (I write my faves down when I come across them) There was no name as to wrote it originally. This was printed onto the card front. I placed navy blue mat to the back and adhered it to the card base.
Thanks for visiting and please pop in again.
