For Carla's great WTUI challenge which you will find HERE.
I had such fun making this. I used a LOT of masking to create my flower (coloured with pencils), and to sponge and spritz the background. I used the brass template (which I may have used back in 2012) to pierce around the petals, and popped the centre up on foam tape after shaping it slightly. The butterflies are cut from a scrap of gold-embossed tissue paper. I used a Sakura stardust pen and white gel pen to edge the card, and added the sentiment. It was a last minute addition so it's slightly cramped, but I liked it better with it.
I made a matching envelope from some old DCWV paper, using my old Notch and Die tool, which has been in its box for years. I did remember how to use it, but couldn't find the little insert with suggestions. YouTube brought up a video by the Frugal Crafter showing how it could be used for envelopes to create a similar notch to the punchboard. Since I don't have a punchboard this was a great discovery...and as I quite often make custom envelopes, Carla's challenge has definitely given one of my old, unused (at least 12 years) tools a new lease of life. Not so sure about the classy brass, though!!
