A “Dotty Butterflies” Handmade Card.
06 Jan 2010
Carrying on the "dotty" theme from the last post -I hope you like my "dotty butterflies" handmade card.
As soon as I saw these spotted butterfly embellishments with their pink jewels this card sprang to life in my mind.
I've used a bright pink micro dot paper from Cardmaking-Ideas over a white card blank.
Using a large Nestability Circle I cut a window in the micro dot paper before affixing it to the card.
The window border is cut from a complimentary pink cardstock using both Scallop and Circle Nestability dies through my Cuttlebug machine.
The spotty black ribbon, complimenting the butterflies, was the finishing touch
Like most of Britain we've had our fair share of snow here in Longton.
It's been so cold that our dog has refused to go on his normal morning walk - he put his anchors on and wouldn't budge! However I decided to take a stroll down to the Brickcroft to see how it looked in the snow.
This photo doesn't do it justice - it was eerily quiet and beautiful.
The pond is actually frozen and all the ducks, geese and swans were huddled along the banks.
The weathermen say this cold spell is in for a bit longer but isn't that a wonderful excuse for staying snug inside and getting on with more Card Making!
