BUTTERFLY GARDEN

Here's my card for the current TicTacToe Challenge #252. I designed the board and I went down the left side with foliage, layers and butterfly.

I did some shading around the wreath leaves on the embossed background.  The background of the butterfly was a piece of blue that I found in my scrap box - it was from when I did whole bunch of backgrounds with the bubble watercoloring techinque. The lacy part of the butterfly is a piece of shiny vellum.  Added some clear "dew drops" to the leaves and done.  Will add a sentiment when I need a card for whatever occasion.  All of the dies I used are no longer available - the wreath was from Alexandra Renke and the background was from SSS.  The dewdrops are from Amazon.

Please join us for our challenge - you have until Thursday, 1 August at 12pm to enter.  Crafty hugs.

ECLECTIC BOUQUET

Today's card is for Altenew's July Inspiration Challenge.  Recently I bought the Altenew craft kit - Eclectic Bouquet.  Used those flowers colored with Altenew alcohol markers to make a pop-up card.

The background embossed areas are from SSS and Altenew.

Thanks for stopping by.
