'Vintage Butterflies' card.

Good evening Lovelies,

I do hope you all enjoyed your Easter Bank Holiday.    Wasn't the weather amazing?    Hubby and I spent some time in our fruit and veggie plot.   We tidied up our raised strawberry beds.   Weeded and removed any dead leaves.   Hopefully we will have many lush strawberries in the coming months, as we have 35 plants in that border and more in another, which has yet to be tidied up.   Dreaming of thoses dishes of lush strawberries and cream lol!

Thank you all for your comments and visits to my last blog, each and everyone very much appreciated.   Tonight I have a card I made in January this year.   I have used one of Imagination Craft's gorgeous rice papers,  Starlight paints and their  'Butterfly Border' stencil.   The large butterfly was stamped using a Chocolate Baroque stamp.

 
Make a square white base card  colour the card front with the  the ripe persimmon and honey coloured distress inks and a blending tool.

Lay the stencil onto the card front and using a piece of cut ' n' dry foam, add the sepia distress ink through the design.   Remove the stencil and leave to dry for a little while.

     

    
Cut out the square with the white butterfly on it, from the rice paper .   Using the decoupage glue, glue this to a piece of white card.

 

 
Matt and layer this onto a slightly larger square of black card, then glue to the centre of the base card.

 
Stamp the butterfly onto a piece of white card using a black ink pad and colour with the distress inks.  Add a touch of watered down white/gold Starlight paint to the wings and body.   Shape the wings a little then glue to the bottom right corner.

 

The card is now finished, a really quick and easy card to make.    That's all from me for the moment.  Please pop back again soon.   Enjoy the rest of your week.
