Purple Butterflies...

Happy Wednesday,

Toady is the last wednesday off the month so its time for my regular workshop at Breedon priory.  We will be playing with the new media plates and stamps etc today so Im sharing a card we will be trying today.


I made the butterfly first using a mix of Izink pigment inks stamping off the ink using the feathers stamps.  I hand cut this out and added a messy bow and a set of the Gerbera daisies made up and shaped.

The background panel is made by running the brayer over the piece of card once I had smoothed the ink on the media plate.  I stamped over using ink from the media plate with the butterflies stamps.  I matted and layers this adding the butterfly over the top.

Enjoy...

    Good morning John,
    oh I love this wonderful card it's so gorgeous.
    I would never have thought of putting flowers on top of a Butterfly it's a brilliant idea.
    Love all the wonderful colours you have used.
    Do you know the corners from you Sandwich Box Die are one of my fave corners to use as I use a lot of corners on my cards.
    I think we all have something that we love to put on most of our cards and mine is corners.LOL!!!!
    Have a great day today, and I hope you are rested after your shows on TV.
    Lots of crafty regards Jenny L.

    Hi John. I did admire this card when I saw it on TV. Such a clever idea to use the butterfly to frame the pretty bunch of flowers.

    Hello John,
    First of all I’m sorry I forgot to comment yesterday! I pinned the card and then was interrupted! That’s fatal! It was a lovely card yesterday and today’s is also! I do like the Shaped Media Plates- ie. butterfly etc rather than just a circle or oval. I think that makes it easier for me!
    I could have gone quite mad! I loved the Shows and I still have the lunch time one to watch.
    Many thanks and well done!
    I hope you have enjoyed today and I’m sure the ladies will have loved making that lovely card.
    Love Myra x
