Thanks for stopping by, if you've time to leave me a comment that you be great - all are gratefully received!

I'm not sure who I will give this card to yet, and for what occasion so I've not added a sentiment. It's actually based on a card I won on a Tonic show on Create and Craft way back in 2015! At the time I made a card myself based on it but stuck pretty much to the same design, you can see both cards here Pink butterfly. I was sorting through my stash and found the papers I'd used so thought I'd make it again but with more of my own input into it, plus the challenge theme.

I hope you like the card I made and that you will join us at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog this month, we'd love to see you there.

Kraft card butterfly birthday

Hello,

I wasn't sure about Kraft card to start with but having used it a few times now I'm starting to see how good it can be.

This is a birthday card I've made for a friend. I used an 8 x 8 Kraft card blank and put a black mat onto it. I've just bought a Kraft card pad with all the papers having a black pattern printed on them, so used that for the next mat. I'd nipped into The Works to kill some time and came out with a bag full of goodies - as you do!

I then die cut 4 square black mats and white layers using my Tonic Layering dies. The butterflies were cut from red card using the Tonic Rococo Butterfly Sprig butterfly, and the red sentiment is from the Tonic Miniature Moments Sentiments dies. These panels were added using foam pads to give a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like the card, and if you've time to leave a comment I'd really appreciate it

Black and white birthday butterfly

Hello there,

I really like monochrome cards, particularly black and white, but also sometimes with a bit of red added into the mix.

For this card I used an 8 x 8 card blank and added a black mat. The large white mat and smaller panel are both made using some Kanban embossed roses card which I've had in my stash for ages. The small square panel is also layered on to a black mat, placed over some black satin ribbon which I also used for the bow. The pre die cut butterfly is also Kanban from a black, white and red kit I picked up ages ago at a show, it was going cheap as it was all in German! I added some black gems to the body of the butterfly and a swirly gem trail, a Craftwork Cards sentiment and gems to the corners.
