I came across these aqua/gold scraps a few weeks ago and wanted to create
with them. I found come gold and vellum snippets to go with them.
I wanted each of them to be unique so browsed my die cuts and picked
out a few. Did some layering and splattered metallic gold and aqua
paints on them. A few embellishments and I was happy with
my butterfly cards. I've already mailed several as thank you's
for food and kindness given to me while recuperating from my
hip replacement surgery. Thank you to my friends/followers
for their good wishes. I am doing well and have my 3 week
checkup next week.
A few fun challenges:
First card:
NBUS #60 -Die on left side of card 4/1

Stunning cards from gold and aqua snippets.
