Flight of the Butterfly...

Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme this week has been chosen by the lovely Tracy Mouse and is 'Use a butterfly on your creation'. Our wonderful sponsors this week are Digistamp Boutique and Flonzcraft, so 2 chances to win :-) 

Flonz $20 store gift voucher Also 12% discount offered on purchases to those entering the challenge

So onto my DT card, I have gone a bit butterfly mad with butterfly papers, a gorgeous image from Digistamp Boutique and a little butterfly punchout... 


I then had a look at the finished card and thought the image looked a bit lonely so I added some little dots of liquid pearls around him 'a la Pop's' style and the card now looks like this...


I think it looks better, more interesting. Don't look too close at my dots, they are all different sizes, I need loads more practice at this ;-)

Supplies:
Image - from the Butterflies set from Digistamp Boutique coloured slightly with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Paper - Time Flies from Craftwork Cards
Lace - from a gorgeous friend x
Flowers, buttons & pearls - stash
Other - circle & scallop circle Nestabilities dies, Quikutz corner die, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, kraft card, White Opal Liquid Pearls, brown chalk inkpad

Please do come and join us over at Allsorts this week for our challenge x

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Creative Card Crew - Things with Wings
Totally Gorjuss - Anything Goes

Hope you have a lovely weekend x

  1. Well I thought the butterfly looks great Sarah, but surprising enough the little pearly dots really do add something and make it pop, very pretty.

    Hope you first week went well.
