BUTTERFLY

I wanted to try a die-cutting technique Amber demonstrated the other day on her blog - it worked really well although my cutting away with the craft knife wasn't up to my standards - I think my blade wasn't sharp enough. So I covered it up with vellum - there's usually a way to fix a mistake.

Then I continued the vellum in the leaves and layered butterfly. It's not very visible but I used a bit of Wink of Stella on the smallest butterfly. I am entering this in the Card Concept challenge - use a butterfly theme and the style (I think) is "clean and layering". This is another card for my file as a variety of different sentiments could be used inside when the need arises.

Supplies:
Paper: HA grey layering paper; PTI sweet blush and vellum
Dies: SU Beautiful Wings; PTI quatrefoil; Sizzix leaves
Stamp: Technique Tuesday
Other: Wink of Stella; Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder

Thanks for looking and your kind comments. Betty

Really gorgeous card, Betty! Great save with your vellum, too...I think it always adds such an elegant touch to a card! I love the soft pink and gray color combo and how you layered those pretty butterflies, too! Lovely card!
