Hi everyone. Today is the latest challenge for ATS&M (#124 - CAS). Of course, you know that this is my favourite style of card, so I had fun! :)
Prize: 5 digital images
There's something about butterflies with the Brushos backgrounds. Am loving them together! :) I'm not one to use butterflies very often, but it just works :)
I continuing having fun with my Brushos colour crystals and used them again today for the main panel on this birthday card for my friend Frances ... it was her birthday a while back, but I have only recently given her this card (didn't want to mail it and have the butterfly crushed) :) I kept the die-cuts simple, even adding vellum for the solid butterfly so nothing would cover up the gorgeous colours of the background. I used glossy accents to attach the butterfly and lift the wings. I hope you like it!
