Citrus Butterfly Loveliness

Good morning all,

I was working on a butterfly panel over the weekend and heat embossed some butterflies with the intention of doing a lovely multi coloured blended background. However, as I completed the panel I realised it really had not worked the way I had intended!! So back to the drawing board and you will see the results I was really looking for later in the year as I was creating for one of my DT positions. 

So this left me with some lovely Distress Ink blended butterflies to use up. I decided to cut them out and give them a black background to really make them pop!


The Butterflies are from Uniko set English Country Garden - Butterflies and I have heat embossed them in Wow! Opaque White powder before ink blending with Distress Oxides in Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemon and Twisted Citron. I have fussy cut them and layered them onto a narrow black panel before layering this onto a white slimline card blank. Finally I have added the sentiment using the really great Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background stamps and co-ordinating die.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:


























Thanks for stopping by today. Nice comments always appreciated and give that warm fussy feeling!
Much love
Steph x

    Those butterflies certainly pop against the black background, butterflies are definitely a sign of spring. I saw quite a few peacock ones the other morning basking in the sun as well as lots of small tortoiseshell ones flitting around. Thanks for sharing at Uniko. :)

    Stephanie, great use of the amplification effect of black against any colours! Your country garden butterflies pop out so nice! Love the CAS style of your card.
