I love butterflies so I really needed to do this week's Ways To Use It Challenge called Butterfly Bliss
This is a Thank You card (because I needed one, lol) but it could be used for any number of occasions. It's an A4 size card but I cut off an inch on the right side of the front so that you see the punched leaves in the border that are actually on the inside. It's kind of hard to take a picture of but I'm sure you know what I mean There is also a strip of green that was punched with an edger that is on the left side on the inside of the card. The straight edge of the punched border shows up as about an 1/8" border on the front side of the card.
The main image was stamped, colored with Copics and layered onto the front. I drew a border with a sparkly gray gel pen on the top layer and used a sparkly silver gel pen to go over the stamen. The butterfly was stamped on a scrap of pearly paper then colored, cut and adhered to the card.
Thanks so much for looking I hope that it helps to inspire you to create a card.
