Butterflies galore


The last of the three cards I made for Making Cards magazine. I used another of the Pink Gem digi kits, this one is simply called purple butterfly.  I went for a really shabby chic look with this one, distressing all the edges and then adding white acrylic paint to the jute ribbon and around the edges of the First Edition beyond the shore papers. The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons, dies are Crafts Too butterflies and Joanna Sheen leaf flourish die. I used bronze gilding wax on the wooden butterfly and added some cheesecloth and roses from Wild Orchid.

Today is Mother's Day in England so we will be visiting my Mum today and taking her out for lunch.  Happy Mother's day to all Mums x
