Twinkle By, Butterfly

Published by leslierich at 2:00 am under Cards, Flourishes

Twinkle By Butterfly Jul08My card today features one of the butterflies and the sentiment from Flourishes new Butterfly Moments set.  There’s a tulip and script from their new Thank You set stamped faintly on the gray panel in the background as well.  These may well be my favorite butterly images yet because they’re not only elegant, they’re fanciful enough to have fun with, too. 

I black embossed the butterfly and colored it with Twinkling H20s in Sunflower, Yellow Rose and Sky Blue.  These colors can all be found at Flourishes in the 12-color H20 Set #1251.  The butterfly was easy to cut out and pop up on dimensionals so it hovers over the card.

The papers I used are BasicGray Perhaps and the flat backed pearls in Copper seemed to match up pretty well. 

I hope you have time to visit Faith, Julie, Linda, Sharon and Susan today, too, because I know they have some beautiful samples to share with you.  Enjoy, and have a wonderful day!

    This looks like a must see IRL to be able to get the full effect of the Twinkling H2O butterfly. Love all your colors and BG basic grey panels too. TFS

    I’ve often wondered if there was any end to the depth of your talent and creativity. As evidenced by this card, apparently not. Another delightful creation, Leslie!

    This is another gorgeous one Leslie! Love the colors, and love how you colored over the sentiment (something I am addicted to doing lately myself!).
