Of course, as you, (my regular readers) will know, I am without internet, but with the problems and frustrations I have had recently with the internet - that can only be a good thing - the downside is, I will miss you all and my visits around blogland!
Just before I left the UK. I had made a Bokeh background piece and wanted to do something with it, so I made three cards.
** WARNING ** This post will be picture heavy!
When I cut the butterfly die out of the background, I couldn't bring myself to throw away the negative pieces, so I cut another butterfly out of black card and used the negative pieces with the black one and mounted it to a plain, white card base, added a sentiment strip, WOS and glossy accents.
This is that card.
The butterfly I cut out of the Bokeh piece, I just made into a shaker card on plain, white card-stock and added a sentiment die-cut.
This is that card.
Finally, with the Bokeh background, I cut another butterfly out of white card and foam, adhered them together, backed the cut-out with gold foil card-stock and adhered the layered butterfly in to the cut-out for dimension. I then added a sentiment, die-cut from the same gold foil card-stock, added some gold 'sequins' and some gold Stickles and called it done!
This is that card.
I hope that you enjoyed your visit today and if you leave any comments, I thank you and apologise that I will be unable to return the favour until I am back in the UK! Have a lovely day! Hazel xx
