Butterfly ballet


 Happy May everyone.

I have owned this awesome image for a long time, with every intention of using it for Mrs. A's butterfly challenge. Today is finally the day.

The digital image is called Ballet de Papillon by Katerina Koukiotis. It is very detailed, so I felt I had to use it fairly large. The image is colored with pencils, layered on a snipped of maroon cardstock, then on a white tentfold card. The sentiment is white-ebossed on a snippet of moss-colored cardstock, and I like how it fits perfectly so that the butterflies are fluttering around it. (I know a lot of people don't keep snippets that are small strips, but I use them all the time for sentiments.)

 For embellishment and contrast, I have added two metal photo corners, plus an acrylic dot on the sentiment panel. 

Do you agree it turned out to be a very feminine card?

The card is entered in these challenges:

Butterfly Challenge #156 -- meets level 2 requirements of theme (metal) and color (maroon and moss) plus butterflies

Simon Says Stamp Monday -- feminine

Pixie's Snippet Playground #402 -- use snippets.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- anything goes

Catch the Bug -- biweekly anything goes

Word Art Wednesday #489 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2118 -- anything goes

  1. So pleased you have used this image to enter in the butterfly challenge. You have coloured the ballerina so perfectly. I always wanted to learn ballet as a child but grew too tall anyway. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugss Mrs A.

Stems and flowers

  I love these Tim Holtz flowers, and decided to use them for a CAS card. The card is a mini slimline. The All that was left of the snippets...
