Jewelled Butterfly with border
Back in May I made a parchment butterfly using the beautiful butterfly stamp I had bought from Carolines. I have now found a suitable border to use to make a card to show off the butterfly. I found the border in a new book I purchased entitled 'Flower Garden' by Hiskia Wittenaar. Hiskia had a painting of a Camelia in the centre of hers but as I don't do much flower painting I used my butterfly. The little flowers are made using the same parchment paper that I used for the butterfly. I love the different colour graduations you get in the mottled design. I backed it all with plain white card so that the colouring remains delicate. I hope you like it.

Like it? Nah! Not at all Carol - I love it!! The border is beautiful and looks as if it took forever to do.
ReplyDeleteThis looks stunning Carol. I loved the butterfly when you had finished it. But with the border it looks beautiful. The colours are so delicate. I'm off on hols for a week now, but looking forward to seeing what you've been making when I get back.
