Just Another Butterfly Card...


Hello everyone,

I had an idea of this card in my head as I woke up this morning, and it would have bugged me all day long, if I hadn't made it. So I tweaked my timeline for today a bit and made it!



This card has couple layers of stenciled and heat embossed cardstock with distressed edges, some dried baby's breath flowers, four layers of inked and heat embossed butterflies and some hand made flowers from my stash...


You can see all the layers of the butterfly...


Flowers tucked in here and there...


I wish I knew how to take better pictures, so that you can actually see the heat embossed flourish on the butterfly's wing...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Studio 75 Challenge #7 "Butterfly"

Let's Craft and Create Challenge #103 Butterflies or Birds

Frilly and Funkie Things with Wings

Allsorts Challenge #321 Use a Butterfly

613 Avenue Create challenge #134 Anything Goes with option of Shabby Chic

I hope you enjoyed this post...
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by...

    Samra, my new friend, this is truly one of the loveliest cards I've seen. The butterfly is exquisite, the card's softness is perfectly dreamy, and the use of baby's breath is brilliant. Why can't we all have dreams like this?! :o) This is stunning and I am so thankful to have seen it tonight. It actually *looks* like the most beautiful dream! Between you, Pamellia, and my super talented friends, I am always awestruck at your creativity. This will be forever treasured!

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen

    OK, I think my heart actually stopped for a second when I saw this, HOLY FREAKING SMACKERONI-VILLE!!! This is in my top 5 of all time, for sure!! PINNED IT and then PINNED IT AGAIN, and saved a copy to my hard drive just so I can look at it over and over again!! Melting, swooning, drooling, can't get enough of the soft, lush, delicate, romantic, shabby chic yumminess! Did I make my point yet?? Samra, this really did take my breath away!

    DT hat on now, Thank you so much for joining us at Frilly and Funkie for our 'Things with Wings' challenge, your freaking nailed it! Hugs, Pamellia DT :)

    Oh, Samra, I'm so happy you were able to tweak your schedule a bit so you could make your idea materialize! and did it ever! this has got to be the coolest butterfly card I've seen in...well, ever! I can see all the embossing on the wings just fine, as all that embossing is just the icing on the cake! the colors, the flowers (!), the curl of the wings, the bow....everything just makes this an all time favorite of mine! Love it; I think it's a winner to every challenge you entered! Big Hugs. I think I'm going to have to come back to visit some more later...you are creating beautiful cards faster than I can comment on them, my dear! Each and everyone of them are just amazing!
