Butterflies...


This card was made using papers from Kirsty Wiseman's CD Colour Burst of Fanciful Things. I love the dotty papers that Kirsty does - I can see them turning up on a lot of my cards! This card is for a wedding acceptance - I know the trend now is to include RSVP cards with the invite but I still like to send a proper card. I also like to try and match the card to the wedding colours but this invite was just white so no clue as to the colours!

I've had this clock kit for AGES, probably a few years in fact... well, I finally finished it last week. The kit was from Craftwork Cards, the papers came with the kit but I changed the numbers for some Grungeboard numbers, which I painted with pearl acrylic paint then covered with alcohol inks. I outlined them with Stickles to make them stand out a bit more. The flowers were painted with metallic acrylic paints then spritzed with Cosmic Shimmer Mists, and again outlined with Stickles.
 I glued everything on then added gems, dew drops, butterflies and more Stickles! The numbers still don't stand out very well but I'm pretty happy with it regardless...





PS Kirsty Wiseman is showing her third CD "Colour Me Crazy" again on Create and Craft this Friday (21st) at 9am.
