This card was made using another die that I got at the Craft Fair/Convention in Arlington. The place was packed full of all sorts of goodies but this one called to me the most. Never thought I would say it but I think I'm in love with butterflies. For the most part the butterflies have to call to me, so I don't just any old butterfly it has to have some characteristics that fit into my world of butterflies. This card was made in Thanks to the Headquarters of work and their understanding about me being sick and needing time off to recuperate. I never thought that I would be able to do something so cool, but I must say it is pretty dang cool. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this die. I have looked for more dies by this maker but I can't seem to find the cellophane bag that it came in to look at their site and see what else they had/have in the realm of butterflies.
This card was all about layers. I think there were at least three layers on the front of the card and I think the same amount on the inside they just didn't "pop" off the page like the other ones did. For the outside, I used multiple paper stacks to give it the contrast that I wanted. After three layers (lime green, teal with black diamonds and plain white card stock) I then die cut the butterfly and also cut out of my Silhouette the "Thanks" quote on the front. The inside was much a repeat of the outside but I instead used black (my fav color for contrast) plain teal and white card stock with a quote from my quote book saying thanks.
Once complete it went to work headquarters and I was a happy camper of the over all look the card gave. I think it was one of my more sophisticated cards that I have made in a long time, or maybe it is the butterfly that I am in love with. I have used this butterfly in other cards but this particular one seems to call to me just a bit more.
