Hello,
Today I am posting a card that has been great fun to make, mainly because it's not a huge job like a mini album or a video tutorial, just a nice small project where someone tells me the guide lines and I can just go for it .....Yes I'm going to make 2014 a go for it year!!!!
My daughter has been requesting lots of albums for sooo long now I just can't put her off any longer!!!
Anyhow, lets get back to my card. The main colours are white and cream. Firstly I coated the card with matt medium and then used gesso over a stencil to give some nice texture. The edges are inked with Ranger distress inks to bring in a bit of definition. For the butterfly, a textured cardboard was used and then a scrape of gesso and glossy accents on the edges with a hint of glitter added for a bit of sparkle...{You can never have enough sparkle!!!!).
Also added was a die cut envelope and some flowers, buttons and ribbon to set it off.
Do you like my knitting? I haven't knitted for years and it is a hard task doing it with cocktail sticks!
Hope you like it...I am entering it into the challenge at The shabby tea room You should pop over and see the site.
