BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE CARD


Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

I do hope everyone is keeping well, and for those who may be suffering from any sort of problems may I send big hugs to try and help.

Well I finally got around to my Butterfly Challenge entry.
This card was quite quick to make apart from waiting for my inks, and pixie powders to dry over night.




This is a 6"x6" size card.
I started by putting some Faded Jeans, and Black Soot DI on my glass mat.
I then added my Pixie Powder Firework Burst to my mat, and spritzed it with water.
Put my card onto the wet puddle and smooshed it.
Left it to dry a little, and then mopped a little of the wet with a kitchen towel I then added some stickles to look like stars in the night sky. 
Finally cut out some aperture of butterflies, and then put them back into the apertures.
If that all makes sense.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.





I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

    Hi Jenny, This is gorgeous !! I hadn't realised that you had used this technique, I'm loving the result and the lovely butterfly apertures with the rainbow mirri behind, so effective.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hi Jenny, a really lovely card....the butterflies kind of emerge from the card, with the clever use of a mirri card behind. Great Idea !! Janice xx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com

    Absolutely gorgeous Jenny! I love your work with the pixie powders, the background is so beautiful!! The use of the mirror paper on this one is quite amazing, it really adds elegance and a wonderful contrast between the layers of blue! Really special Jenny! hugs :)

    Wow Jenny, I am loving this background you make with the inks and powders!! That rainbow background is so pretty too and frames you inky background perfectly!! Love how you inlaid your butterfly's but lifted the wings so we can see the beautiful rainbow paper underneath. Well done!! Hugs, Brenda
