Without more ado here is my card.

Ihad recently got some Tim Holtz Distress Spray, so after watching a couple of tutorials on YouTube I had a play.I started off spraying through a stencil, but must have been a bit heavy handed as I ended up with large blobs! That has been consigned to the pile of " maybe I can fix it later" bits. Then I decided to go for simple - and just sprayed lightly a few times on the card. When it was dry I blended Distress Oxides over it in Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade.A rub over with a baby wipe revealed the spray, which has a slight sparkle to it .The butterfly and sentiment from Butterfly Birthday were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black onto the card. I stamped the butterfly again onto some plain card and coloured it with the same inks. A mat of Cajun Craze and some black Nuvo drops finished it off.

Butterfly Dream

I have been having a bit of a clear out in the craft room now that I think I have made enough Christmas cards for this year. As a result I made this card - all from the snippets and UFO box!

The butterfly was left over from a birthday present I made last February, the embossed background was a piece I had embossed and never used, and the pink paper and diecut sentiment were snippets.
Obviously I am taking this over to the Playground as I haven't been there for quite a while and it also fits the theme of "Things with Wings" at Always use Rubber. I'm delighted to say I won the October prize there.

                                                      

Purple Butterfly

I made this card to use up some bits off my desk. The card base had been cut out at Christmas then not used and the butterfly was left over from the picture here.

The papers are from a colouring book that was free with a magazine, which I colored with copics. The sentiment was also from the colouring book.

Mrs A's butterfly challenge is looking for fancy folds/fuschia, I think this can be classed as a fancy fold and with a bit (lot) of imagination some of the flowers in the background could be fuschias!

Allsorts are asking for purple - so think this qualifies there as well.
 

Matching Butterfly Birthday

This is the matching card I made to go with the present I showed in a previous post. Again I used Watercolour Wings for the big butterfly. The small ones are from the Perpetual Calendar set, the background is from You Got It and the leaf from Butterfly Basics.

and here are the two together.
