As soon as I saw the sketch at http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ I thought it would make a perfect opportunity to use one of my new embossing stencils by X Cut. This one is called Spring Swirls and is really pretty having both butterflies and flowers on it.
The butterfly image is a rubber stamp that came in a collection I bought on ebay ( I love ebay) and I really don't know who it was made by, but I love the image and it was a great fun to paint with water colour pencils.My card is also perfect for the challenge at http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/ where the instructions this week were to create a birthday card.
Materials used:
- Lilac shaded card by Kanban - the colour is deeper at the base of the card than at the top and I have used the lighter shade for the cuttlebugged piece
- X Cut embossing border 'Spring Swirls'
- Butterfly rubber stamp
- water colour crayons - Faber Castell
- silver brads, vellum, white organza ribbon and silver sentiment peel offs from stash
