Butterfly card

 Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you this lovely butterfly card I have made using the Sharon Callis butterfly and blooms collection.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges: 

• Fan 'n' funky challenges #501
  
• Penny's paper-crafty challenge #483
  

And here is my card, all details and products used are below:

• To make this card I have used a white 5''x7'' base card, I matted a blue and patterned layer to the front, glittering the edges of the patterned layer and stuck to the base card with wet glue.
• Next I have used the Sharon Callis honey silk lace decorative frame nesting die and some blue plain and patterned papers running it through my die cutting machine for each piece. 
• I added a patterned band around the middle of the card horizontally and added some blue organza ribbon before securing all layers to the card with wet glue. (I attached the centre piece with foam pads)
• I have then stamped both my butterfly image and my sentiment onto blue pearl cardstock and heat embossed with silver superfine embossing powder, I used the matching dies from the set to cut these out. I slightly shaped the butterfly and added some pearls before securing both the butterfly and sentiment to the card with 3D gel.
• For a couple of last finishing touches I have added a blue organza bow with a flower pearl embellishment to the centre and some pearls to the corners to finish.
