This card was made for a sketch challenge entry at the INKlings team weekend. The inspiration card had a flower, but I have substituted a butterfly cut from a scrap of picture framing matboard using the Sizzix Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies die. I love love LOVE how the steel-rule dies cut this material, it's got all the benefits of chipboard, but is acid free with a white (or coloured) core, which makes decorating a cinch. I've stamped the butterfly with the Delicate Doilies stamp set in Melon Mambo, and also in Versamark, so I could add some Heat and Stick powder and a generous dose of Dazzling Diamonds glitter - hard to see in the photo, but it gave the butterfly a lovely texture and glimmer.
Behind the butterfly is a torn embossed panel of Melon Mambo, and a strip of Flirtatious Specialty DSP bordered with some Elegant Eggplant Scallop border trim. The card base is another of the new In Colors for 2011-13, "Wisteria Wonder" For those of you (and there were many!) who lamented the demise of the purples in the SU colour range, weep no more, this colour is just so pretty! Finishing touches include some Organza Satin ribbon and a Triple Layer Doily punchie with a rhinestone. Very girly :)
