I have combined my
JAI #12 challenge entry this week with Mothers Day, which is just around the corner! This is the card I will be sending to my Mother. My Mum is forever doing things for other people and has just returned from a month in Australia, while she took care of my very sick Great Aunt. You rock Mum! Kim, if you see this blog, you have to KEEP Mum, okay?!
This weeks challenge is a sktech challenge. Here is the image we were given to work with:
I have used the All a Flutter stamp out of the new Winter Mini. At just $15.95 for the single stamp, it is a great place to start if you are new to crafting. This stamp lends to itself really well to colouring and layering. I have made my butterfly more dimensional by cutting out a second set of wings on the top half of the Butterfly and popping them on the original image with SU dimensionals.
I have also added Dazzling Diamonds to the "eyes" on the wing for a bit of bling. Of course, I had to include sponging! I think this is the first entry to JAI that I have used this technique! I finished the card with a flat satin ribbon and coordinated brads for interest.
Happy Mothers Day Mum!! I hope you like your card. Love you!
That is stunning Paula, I'm sure your Mum will love it! You are so talented at creating scene cards.
