Two Challenges


I am using this card to enter two separate challenges today. I think it answers the
Arty Girlz Challenge because they have specified no patterned paper. I am also hoping that it will work for the Cute Card Thursday's challenge of Soft Furnishings, I'm not really sure but they did mention ribbon in their challenge instructions.
I started with a tent folded square textured card and embossed vertical lines. I used a lovely piece of vellum that I got from e-bay ages ago and coloured it with Cosmic Shimmer Powder from Joanna Sheen. I blended three different colours.
I then embossed it with the swiss dots folder before using my oval nesties to make the mount. The Butterfly came from an unmounted sheet from Glenda at Graphicus and painted with Twinkling H2O's. I used very thin wire for the antenna and 3'd the butterly onto the oval mount, which hid the sticky stuff. I tied the piece of pink ribbon to finish it off. I hope you like it. Beryl
