A butterfly card, in some earth tones - CTD meets FMS

 


The colors suggested by Wanda at The Color Throwdown # 720 were very appealing to me - kraft, copper, sage green and black:


I used these colors for a non-traditional butterly stamping (MFT 'More Brilliant Butterflies' stamp set), I used Lawn Fawn pizza crtust and sage leaf, and I must say - I really love how it came out!

For the desgin, I followed the sketch from Freshtly Made Sketches #563, given by Jen B:

I loved how the circle is cut by the frame and not full.

I die cut a doily from a black cardstock, and topped it with some circular die cut in kraft. I adhered it to the white panel, with some of the doily going out of the edge, and cut the excess. 

On top of it I adhered the stamped butterfly with foam tape and added a glittery copper enamel dot in the middle.


I think that the cut doily and the off the edge butterfly gives the card a bit of an interest, don't you think?

I stamped the sentiment (Mazal Tov in Hebrew) in sage, and added some more glittery copper enamel dots.

The white panel was double matted with matching colors cardstocks and adhered to the white basis.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.
