A Butterfly, & "Uncle Sam" Drops In!

First of all, Happy 4th of July to all my American fans, friends & followers! For me, tomorrow is July 4th, but for you guys it is an extra day away. I found this on Beth-a-paloosa's blog & decided to see if I could make it! I put mine on a big paper clip. I used all SU punches to make him, cute huh! And the best part is, he didn't take long to make!
Ok, gotta go, it's almost dinner time for me! Thanks for visiting; {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)

Butterflies

As yet I haven't put these butterflies on a card or anything. I had thought of sticking one on a paper bag to use as a gift bag.
The pale one was hard to photograph as the paper I used is a very pale lilac colour and doesn't show up too well in photo's. Even in daylight it doesn't show up well.

Two Butterflies

As you can see, I am having fun with this butterfly die! The rose card I used on here (to make the card) is just GORJUSS and is slightly scented and comes from Thailand! I picked it up recently when I went to SENZ. I just love it and it comes in all different colours and with different patterns on. Yumm!

Card For A Friend

This is a card & envelope I made for my friend, Robyn, who lives in Queensland Australia.
I used a big "Sizzix" butterfly die to cut out the butterfly, and added some small material roses & leaves. I think I used my hot glue gun to stick them to the butterfly. I used embossed cream paper for the b/fly.
I used a butterfly template and stippled the envelope in different colours.
It was alot of fun & the first time I had used the b/fly die!

Butterfliies

This is a cling mount Stamp-It stamp. I added a clear oval gemstone to his body & some square gems to each corner of the white card. I also added a piece of cream coloured ribbon with gold along the edges.

Very simple but elegant. Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me!

Butterfly Card

I used Bazzill card to make this card.

I stamped the butterfly onto clear plastic using Stazon ink then added coloured Kindy glitz. I stamped the image (Hero Arts) onto the card & used watercolour crayons to colour it. I cut out a small lilac circle & put this on the card then put the butterfly on top. I layered the pink/lilac Bazzill card ontot he blue card. I lastly added Kindy glitz to the flower image. The butterfly wings stand out IRL.

Crayon Resist Background

The multi coloured background on here was done using the crayon resist technique. I stamped in black (some daisy shapes) then drew around them with a white crayon. Then I brayered various colours over the top. The crayon shows up as white.

I punched out a butterfly shape & layered it over the top of the background card, which was layered on pink card. I added two paper flowers (I made the pink ones) & layered the whole thing onto white card. Added the words at the top last.
