I recently got this stitched butterfly die and had been dying to try it out. I think it is just a teeny bit to big for the card but it's soooo pretty I can forgive myself! Normally when I layer butterfly die cuts I do cardstock on the bottom and vellum on top, but this time I did the opposite. I think you can just see the vellum peeking out from under the stitched layer. I added a row of small pearls down the center - one of my favorite embellishments on butterflies. And the colors for this come from the latest challenge at Fab Friday.

ReplyDeleteReading your intro, I just realised I am NOT a fan of crooked panels and yet I create a sketch with crooked panels. Go figure! Your card is gorgeous - that butterfly on the coral splatter is such a warm look and the cool tones along the sides really work well.
