Hello lovely friends! I hope you are all having a good weekend so far. Mine started badly yesterday, when I waited with my mother for four-and-a-half hours for a meeting with a heart nurse, who turned out to be a 'no show'. Unfortunately, I didn't have a number that I could ring to find out what was going on!
Anywho, my card today is for the Freshly Made Sketches #280 challenge
I started by using a circular stencil, made by die cutting a piece of card-stock and sponged through it lightly on to a white card base. Then, I took a poppy stencil and used Starlight paints (in red and green) to paint the poppies and left it to dry.
Next, I die-cut a frame from a scrap piece of white card-stock and adhered it around my focal piece. Then, I die-cut a butterfly from gold foil card, stamped a sentiment in black, fussy cut it out and adhered both with foam for dimension.
I finished the whole thing off with some black enamel accents and some gold Nuvo drops.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!
If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
