Blue For You


Our latest NZ cardswap topic was 'monochrome' so it had to be blue, my fave colour.  I had to put a butterfly on it too - my swap person loves butterflies.  I think it looks like willow pattern china.

 Stampin'Up Berry Harvest. This is a background stamp, which I used with water stamping technique and Ranger Distress Inks Chipped Sapphire. Also misted with Ranger Perfect Pearls.   Diecut an oval matted and popped up with foam tape.  The small butterfly is Kaisercraft, oval lacy diecut Babai Crafts from vellum, silver thread and silver pearls.  Sentiment diecut "For You"die AnOwl layered.  I also put a leftover strip of the background on the inside of the card.
