Arnt butterflies just so gorgeous, i think they are, and i brought a pot full of little paper butterflies a few weeks ago and hadn't used any yet, it was another of my crafty sale bargains.
So when the ladies at LIM decided it would be a butterfly week this week i thought it was the perfect chance to use a few.
I started off by stamping the sentiment square which was a freebie stamp from the DoCrafts mag a couple of issues back, cut this out (very fiddly) and coloured part of it pale blue with pro markers. Next up it was time to pick my butterflies as the pot i have has lots in different sizes and shades, they have all been like tie died so can be very different from one another. after i found 3 thats were similar and after playing about deciding on how to place everything on my card, i embossed a square 1cm in from the edge, just for a bit more detail, and then stuck my sentiment and butterflies on with quite think foam pads.
Now its finished im not sure wether i like it or not, its one for the box anyway.
