Thank you so much to the team from CAS-ual Fridays for choosing my card as a favorite in their challenge. Also Paru’s Card Challenge for selecting my card for a Special Mention.
Welcome
This week Gail is hosting our first challenge for October – WWC190 – Gail’s Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge.
For this week’s card, I used The Ton – Butterfly Swirl die to cut butterflies across the corners of the card front.
After creating a background piece by smooching Oxide Inks and flicks of gold acrylic paint, I used the panel behind the cut outs as well as cutting 2 of the larger butterflies from the die to add to the top.
The panel was then attached to some gold card before adding it to the card front.
The Die-namics – Absolutely Fabulous word die was cut from black card and then the bottom half was gold heat embossed. It was then attached across the card front.
To finish, I added some small gold butterflies from Memory Box Butterfly Delights die and the 2 butterflies cut from the background, after adding some gold edges and folding the wings.
Thanks so much for stopping by and please head over to our blog to check out the inspiration offered by the rest of the Design Team. I hope you find the time to join in.
Have a good week
Helen

This is a stunner. Love the use of negative and positive dies. And stunning background with just a hint of the gold there and this then followed through with the sentiment. Wonderful to have you join us at Time Out

The ink background looks great showing through the die cuts and it was a wonderful idea to add larger butterflies from the same paper. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to Stamps and More.
