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.

    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.
