Hello! Did you read my teaser post on Friday about the inspiration that I found in the photo shown on the left? No? Well, I challenged myself to make a card using this ad in WSJ as inspiration for a card design. The result is shown below. I went all out with bling on the butterfly and flowers. I used GKD butterfly stamp from The Flight and flowers from Unforgettable. The butterfly was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP. I colored with Pink Copics and attached the bling with Glossy Accents. I used Memento Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves markers for the flowers...some of the stems were drawn in freehand. Masking was used. I added Glitter Domes to the center of the flowers. I used Grass Green CS for the card base and Gold Metallic CS as a layer under the image. All bling was from my stash.
Butterfly Inspiration
I decided not to add sentiment until I use the card.
