Butterflies

Don't you just love butterflies?  I do and couldn't resist using the beautiful Botanical Gazette DSP as the background for this lovely card.  It didn't really need much else so I just added a couple of stamped and punched out butterflies which had been embellished with rhinestones.  The card stock and the ink are in Concord Crush.  As a final touch, I used Crystal Effects to highlight the olives on the branch.  Simple but effective I think.

The Claudia and Company challenge is butterflies; Divas by Design  has an anything goes challenge and for Flutterby Wednesday the card must have a butterfly, fairy or angel.

Butterfly Tag

This butterfly tag was inspired by one I saw here. 

I've used the Botanical Gazette DSP from the new mini catalogue.  The papers are just gorgeous and I have so many ideas for using them.  The tag shows both sides of one paper:  the torn edges have been inked with chocolate chip and peach parfait.  Peach parfait has also been used for the butterfly.  This was stamped with the Punch Potpourri stamp set, punched out with the butterfly punch and a rhinestone added.

I've finished it off with a jumbo eyelet and a piece of crumb cake seam binding from the mini

This is being submitted to the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - butterflies.
