Hi everyone! Having a good week? Work this week is really busy for me.So much to do and not enough time to do it. In addition to my card and craft business, I also work at a hospital. I have done both for a very long time. I enjoy helping and this is a great place to do it! On to our card!
Today's card is a Ribbon Butterfly card. The butterfly design comes from the Time Holtz butterfly die. As I look at the shape, it could be a dragonfly too!
To get the shapes I used on this card, I first took all my scrap pieces of ribbon and a piece of cardstock and glued them on it. I chose light and dark colors, and even one with sparkle. Once all the ribbons had been glued down, I used the die and cut out the shapes.
I used gold glossy for the butterfly body and outlined it with white pearls. When I attached the butterfly to the card, I curved the wings a bit and then glued the ends down so that they would have some height off the card.
I curled the petals to give the flowers more of a 3 dimensional appearance. (I cut the flowers from a different selection of ribbons than the butterfly so that I could get some variation.) I glued clear glass balls in the middle of each flower and then placed pearls on top of them.
I hope you enjoyed today's creation. Don't forget to leave a comment or vote to give me instant feedback!
