New Butterfly Challenge!

There's a new challenge in blogland called Butterfly Challenge which has been started by one of the Playground friends - Mrs A.The first challenge is nice and easy -your card must have at least one flower and one butterfly. You'd think being so easy I could have made a card when the challenge opened two weeks ago. Well not quite I did make it last week and it was also for the Dynamic Duos challenge to use yellow and black.

That challenge is long over and I am only just managing to rush  in the door before Mrs A's challenge closes.  I seemed to get a tad busy towards the end of last week!  Anyway my card is quite simple and not quite how it looked in my head!! I cut a mask with the oval framelits to make an oval aperture and then brayered Daffodil Delight in the oval. But it came out very pale and no matter how much ink I added couldn't seem to get it any brighter. Then I stamped the flower from Serene Silhouettes in black and the butterfly from Papillon Potpourri. I added some more yellow to the butterfly with the matching marker, some tiny jewels down it's body plus some more in the corners. I was going to add an acetate butterfly over the top but the ink didn't want to dry and the acetate wasn't heat resistant I discovered!!

I've just noticed I have a new follower as well - welcome Shirley.
