Thanks to Angie's Stamps for the image; get it here: butterfly-on-toadstools

NEW Directions:  I made this for one of our granddaughters who has left university and is looking for work.  Because of  the effects of Covid, I made this so she might stay focussed on her dreams while taking work where she can get it in the meantime.  I thought the butterfly motif very appropriate for the changes she will need to make.

I made a scrappy strips background, complete with strips of gold (for the dream).  I coloured the image and smooshed and stamped over the ground.  The wings are sparkly with WoS.  * I now collect all my snippets/strippy scraps so I will have them ready to go.

Colourful and fun, this is a party card.  The background is made using the shaving foam-food colouring technique.  The shaving foam leaves the paper feeling smooth and creamy.  It's lots of fun and you get quite a few 'prints' from each foamy tray, even though they do get paler and paler.
