Permanent Butterfly




 
 
I don't usually use butterflies on my cards, but this set is so amazing...it's Hero Arts and Sizzix together...dies and matching stamps. Matching sets like this are trending right now, everywhere!
 
 
I used a technique called, Permanent Masking ala Jennifer McGuire. I love her.
 
By coating the butterfly image with Glossy Accents, it is permanently masked!
 
I used Distress inks to stamp the Friendship Definition stamp sideways over the butterfly...
another Jennifer trick...makes it unusually interesting.
 
The other butterflies are stamped in Cocoa ink by CTMH.
 
I made a tiny white frame to offset the cricut-cut frame, and used papers from
 Graphic 45's French Country.
 
The "pearls" were made with Liquid Pearls.
 
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
 
 
 
Enjoy the journey,

    Thank you for joining us over on SeemaCrafts Challenge Blog for our new challenge 'August Butterflies'.

    This is absolutely beautiful. The card is so elegant and well put together. The stamping is perfect and so is the colour choices. Those butterflies are gorgeous, especially the crisp black and white one.

    I hope you will join us for more of our challenges, which run monthly. Great prizes up for grabs from the wonderful LEJ Designs who are our sponsors this month.
