Butterfly In The House


     This month at the House Of Cards we have 'Add a butterfly or use the colours' challenge, if you wish you can do both.
     I have opted for a simple card this month, I felt the sentiment lent itself to a basic design. It is a stamp set from Heartfelt Creations called Hydrangea Posy, it comes as rubber on cling mount and pre cut.
     I have stamped in Archival Ink Jet Black and embossed in clear, I also stamped a small spare piece of card so I could cut out one flower. The single coloured flower has been painted with Cosmic Shimmer Drawing Ink Lilac Blue on the front and a blue alcohol marker on the back. Once cut out and stuck on to the flower head I have glued a small pearl in the middle.
   
     The butterfly is a Sizzix Mover and Shaper die cut in white card, then stamped in Archival Black using a JustRite background stamp, embossed in clear and painted with Cosmic Shimmer Midnight Blue drawing ink. I have glued three tiny pearls down the body of the butterfly after colouring the back with a blue alcohol marker.
     The main image panel is mounted on mauve pearl paper and then on to a white card blank, with the flower and butterfly being added at the end.
 
     We would love you to join us at the House Of Cards with your interpretation of this challenge, you have a month to come up with a card that has a butterfly or fits the colour challenge or both.


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
The Sisterhood Of Crafters - Come Fly With Me
