Live like a Butterfly....

Hello & Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!

Another week has gone by and I'm excited for the weekend!!!

Still very busy running around and hope one of

these days things will lighten up!

I've had this card sitting on my desk for

a long while - It's a FOILED CARD!!

You guys know I LOVE to FOIL!!!

But I just never put it together, so I

finally sat down and put everything together and

I gotta say... I LOVE the way it turned out!!

I'm using Digital Images from Polka Dot Orchard

So I used my Laser printer and printed out the sentiment & Butterflies

on a piece of vellum -

Then I grabbed some Pink/Gold Foil and placed it through

my laminator and everything came out beautifully -

I hand cut the butterflies, cuz I wanted 1 for the inside of my card

Then I Laser printed this fabulous design on a piece of 

Neenah Solar White cardstock and grabbed a piece of 

Pink Fushia Foil and put it through my laminator as well

I made sure to leave enough space on my vellum to over hang on

my white cardstock piece and attached the two together

so no adhesive would show through - Then I cut a piece of

Gold Foiled Cardstock out and attached them all together

and added some Fun Foam to the back for Dimension

and adhered it all to a White Card base -

The Butterflies were attached with Multi-Matte Medium glue and

I just added glue where the foiled design is so it wouldn't show through -

I added a piece of Gold foil strip to the inside to complete

my card - I also added a couple of Lucy's Cards Gems -

This looks so elegant up close and in person!!!

Live Life Like a Butterfly

**** And just so you know... I took the image (Above)

and enlarged it so I could just get the butterfly

images... then I erased what I didn't want

and sized my butterflies accordingly -

That's one of the benefits of digital stamps

they can be sized up or down and you

can remove sections you don't want - 

Most regular stamps you can't do that with -

so it's a nice way to get even more creative with what

you have!!! ****

Have a Magical Weekend!!
