After finishing the previous card I had a stamped image that I'd smudged the colour over the lines on and lots of card scraps too. So rather than bin the image and add the cardto my overflowing box of scraps I decided to use them ther e and then. I cut the butterly out so getting rid of the smudge then played around for a bit with the card and came up with this.
I think I like this one better than the first! I'm entering it into Dynamic Duos as well - although I'm not sure I can enter two but couldn't see anything that said I couldn't, and as it is all scraps apart from the card base I'm going to pop along to Pixie's Playground too. Wienerhoneymooners has also reminded me that CAS-ual Fridays challenge is "over the edge". So I am going to rush over there too.

ReplyDeleteWhat a super save to turn into such a beautiful card. Thanks for that inspiration! Your dark brown circlet with the b/fly perched upon it, made me think of luscious chocolate candies for some reason. This is just so pretty. TFS
