Butterfly

A quick card made with a Marianne D butterfly die, Nesties and my beautiful PP papers - I nearly couldn't bear to use them!!! (is it just me? lol!)

I inked the edges of the card and papers with Distress inks and coloured the butterly with Brilliance ink (the pearlescent effect doesn't show very well on the photo); added peel-offs and pearls, et voila, a quick but effective card. Thanks for looking x

Congratulations on your engagement!!

Merci

I'm just loving these 3"x3" scalloped cards, they are so handy for little notelets. This card was made using black embossed cards stock; bow; gems (all from my stash) and the fabulous Simply Delightful download from Pink Petticoat.

I made it for someone who has greatly influenced my crafting over the years and who was kind enough to send me a gift recently. Hope she likes it :)
