As promised, I'm back to share another card with you today. This one was made for a fab friend of mine who loves pink, glitter and butterflies, so I included all of these on her card!
I started by stamping the flourish on the card base. Next I stamped the butterfly using 3 inks, I use the little cube ink pads so it's not to difficult to pinpoint where you want the ink. This was then die cut using the corresponding butterfly die. I placed the butterfly on the card base, not yet fixing it permanently, so I could curve the 'just for you' stamp to follow the curve of the wing and stamp onto the card base. Next I added some wet glue to the flower centres on the card base and added some fine glitter, and then did the same with the butterfly wings. Once dry I popped the butterfly up on 3D foam and finished off by adding the 'friend' word die.
Materials used:
- Stamps: Inkadinkado - Modern Flower Flourish; Clearly Besotted - Flight of Fancy and Sweet Little Sentiments
- Dies: Clearly Besotted - Flight of Fancy and Friend Word Die
- Ink: Versa Color - Sky Gray and Petal Pink; Versafine - Onyx Black
- Glitter: Stampin' Up - Stampin' Glitter Dazzling Diamonds
- Cardstock from stash

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, whatever you're up to - hopefully something more fun than housework!
Beautiful, I love the gorgeous butterfly.
