For Adele

I made this card for a friend who was celebrating a big birthday
It is pretty simple but looks really nice when finished. Firstly stamp your main piece of card with your desired stamp. I used Tim Holtz, Papillion and placed the butterflies down the side ( which is the bottom of the card) and then selected a few other places on the right side ( top of the card). In between I used a french script , masking the butterflies as I went to prevent the script covering them. I placed a piece of  card "wire" mesh under the main pictrue, which is one of the butterflies from the same stamp set. This is stamped on a separate piece of card and placed under another piece of  pretty card which has a circle cut out of it to place the butterfly in the centre. I  rubbed ink around the inner of the circle and the outside edges. This was placed on a piece of mulberry paper and all adhered down.

On the inside of the card I used another piece of the pretty paper  and a sentiment placed on the piece of card left over from the front of the card. I wanted to do something a bit different so I stamped the butterflies on card, coloured them with Myungo crayons ( wet) and then attached them to ribbon so that they cascade down the card when you open it. A little bit of bling was adhered to the centre of each butterfly
