Muse with Butterflies Card

Hi everyone!  I'm going to jump right into today's card!

When I'm looking at other websites and blogs, and I see a card I like, or want to know what materials the artist used, I go a little nuts when I can't find out. This is because I want to use some of those papers or embellishments.  So, I am trying to provide a basic materials list for you, dear readers, in case you are curious about what I used.

Materials:
  • writing embossing foiled (Sizzix) on gold foil card
  • Chain is from a steel rule die from Sizzix called Chained (I've been using this a lot. Check it out.)
  • Butterflies used Frantic Stamper Petite Butterflies  (I am providing the link because this die is neat!)
  • Background paper by Sizzix called Little Sizzles.
  • Gold lines from Dazzles by Hot off the Press



It's a pretty simple card to make but very dramatic!  I love the little butterflies cut from blue foil which was embossed first..  They reflect back to the chains cut from dark blue shimmer paper.

The muse letters were some random ones that I had but I did color over them with a light wash of pink shimmer.

In the next picture you can really see the pink shade come out on the letters.  Also I only attached the butterflies at the center so I could bend up the wings.  These little butterflies are so delicate.


Thanks for stopping by!
