Darkroom Door - Butterfly

Hello friends, today's card has a beautiful butterfly from Darkroom Door - I love the size of it and how beautifully it colours.

I have coloured the image using Chameleon Pens, it has been cut out using Spellbinders Labels.  I have layered dots using a variety of Chameleon Pens to add a shadowing effect.  This has been layered onto an embossed Spellbinders Labels 17 - embossed using the Spellbinders Horse Hair folder by Tammy Tutterow using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  This in turn has been popped up onto a precut card base using Labels 17, also using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

A button has been glued to the centre of the butterfly and a Want2Scrap pearl added to the button - such an easy but effective embellishment

This card is for the following challenges:

Heartfelt Thanks

Hello friends, I hope you are all doing well...we have only a few days until it is officially spring and the weather is lovely at the moment - bite before too long we will be complaining that it is too hot!! LOL! Never happy are we!!?

I am sharing a card today using the Thank You Stamp by Tammy Tutterow - I do love this heart and sentiment - so perfect for a thank you. I have coloured it using Imagine Crafts Memento Markers, then hand up using scissors.  This has then been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L  3D Foam Squares.  The background paper has been embossed using the  Spellbinders Cascading Hearts Die - did you know you can use the Dies like embossing folders - how cool is that!!! The beautiful bling is from Want2Scrap and adds such a pretty touch.
