At the current As You Like it Challenge, we're asked to use our favourite metallic or glitter and to explain why it's our favourite. Well I love a bit of glitter, but I have found several glitter card stocks difficult to cut with etched dies. This aluminium cuts like butter, even if I apply double sided tape to the back of it.
At the current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, we are challenged to decorate the envelope. I used this very old rubber mounted butterfly stamp to decorate the envelope. I also created a notelet for the inside stamped with the same image - it must be lovely to get a pretty envelope in the post!
I would also like to enter the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies Challenge for September.
Here's a short video of the butterfly in action
What a gorgeous card Kate it's really beautiful hugs Sue x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I love the papers and the shine of the sentiment and butterfly,,

Fabulous card Kate, I love how the butterfly spins.
ReplyDelete(Have fun with your new embossing folder when it comes. It’s a 3D e/f so you will need to change the sandwich in your machine. I have a Big Shot and the sandwich is the platform with all the flap down as if you’re going to die cut, the embossing folder + card on top, then just one cutting plate right on the top. Hope this helps. )
Hi Kate! I found you! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, and the lovely comment about that old card you found on Pinterest! I really need to remember it as a fabulous source of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of - I adore butterflies and making one move so gracefully across your 'garden' card is spectacular! We have 5 Monarch chrysalis in our box left to bloom - even brought them in the house last night as the weathermen were warning of a frost!
Thanks again.. x
