I liked the this week's card sketch and thought I'd give it a go, thanks Roxie! Butterfly is die cut in two layers, one on pink vellum and one on dark grey shimmer card then glued together and raised on dimension card. For the layout I used pink bazzil layered with basic grey sultry then doodled around the edges with a sharpie a la markie's mom (hope she doesn't mind!). I added rub on letters and some liquid pearls.
I quite liked this card until I added the liquid pearls as I thought it needed something else and couldn't think what! I wish I'd left it alone LOL! Can you get liquid pearls off when it's dry does anyone Know!!!!! TFL

Oh Chris, you've outdone yourself and in a totally different way! this is the beautiful side of you I see today, which i happen to think is equally as great as the fun side! your papers are so spectacular - oooh la la, girl! I see some beautiful pearls and look at all those dots. Then there's your butterfly which just happens to steal the show. Ahhh, I just got back down to earth after seeing this beauty!

It's gorgeous Chris!! Love the way you used the sultry paper.. I would have never dared using one pattern of paper in different directions! ( I am so limited in my thinking! LOL! ) Love the dots!! The liquid pearls look lovely - but I know what you mean when a card just doesn't quite look right TO YOU... but truly it is gorgeous!
