Butterfly Card


I made this card for the "critter" theme in the scrap challenge. I used Core'dinations cardstock. The butterfly card is from A Child's Year, cut at 5 1/2". I embossed it with Cuttlebug's Floral Fantasy folder, after which I sanded the paper down and applied metallic inks, for a shadowed effect. I finished it off with platinum and silver Liquid Pearls. I can't believe just how sturdy the cardstock was. I was even able to let the butterfly stand on its tiny, spindly legs!

This card won at the Practical Scrappers website! Yay! :-))))))
