Butterfly card

 

 



 I had some free time today so made this fun butterfly card. I want a gatefold so started 
with that and some ancient paper that had an alcohol ink look to it.  I used some new 
Gina Marie dies and cut two each of the frame and butterfly and glued them
together. I brushed some Mermaid Lagoon distress oxide ink on the butterfly
for interest and added gems to the butterfly and card.
 
A few fun challenges:

Great butterfly card - and sponging the distress oxide ink made it really pop. Love the die you used, very unique.

Oooh I'd forgotten what a great fold the gatefold is - the butterfly is perfect for it and I love the offset frame. Great card.

Just loving this card Donna. I realy like how you have created the framework and buterfly for the front ad those dreamy colours look so good together. Thankyou for coming and spinning the buterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
