This week's challenge over at Less is More is butterflies.
For absolutely ages I have had some 12x12 sheets of acetate in my stash which is printed with different sizes of butterflies. It is from Christine Adolph and I think it was part of a kit bought from QVC. Anyway for this card I selected the butterfly I wanted to use and die cut around it using nesties. I then cut out another butterfly to decoupage. Around the frame of the nestie I used my Quickie glue pen and Glamour Dust to define the edges. I also used this on the wings of the top butterfly. The sentiment is from a Fiskars Butterfly Magic clear stamp set and embossed in purple e/p (although it looks blue in the photo!). This sentiment was then die cut using Spellbinders fancy tags and attached with ribbon.
This is a close up showing the decoupaged butterfly.
Many thanks for dropping in.
very pretty and a gorgeous butterfly - I've not had much success with acetate and nesties.

ReplyDeleteJust to let you know Val - I had troubles with the nesties cutting through as well!! In the end I had to finish off with scissors which is why I glamour dusted the edges.........!
