I did not have a fine copic liner pen with me ...or any pen for that matter. Not that we are home, I can not decide whether to draw on some antennae on the butterfly, or leave it as is...
I have left the sentiment blank. Once I know what I will use this card for (birthday, get well, hello, etc) then I will add an appropriate sentiment inside. I may even draw some antennae on at that time!
Here is a close up of the focal point. I kept it very simple...just a few diamonds scattered here and there on the DP and of course a row down the center of the chipboard butterfly.

Hi Maureen a gorgeous card. The butterfly is gorgeous and love the mat its on! I am afraid I wouldn't trust myself to draw antennae on they would be too wonky!! Susan x

What a gorgeous card - love the colours and I don't think I'd draw the antennae on. I'd do it wrong!!!

A gorgeous card Maureen, you could always add a curly wire set of antennae.... Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Mo, I like the beautiful butterfly, the colours and frame.

You really got a lot of mileage out of your small box of supplies that you took to the lake. I've enjoyed every vintage card that you did. Love your cream butterfly with his sparkling body, against those posies. The pop of color against the black with the cream of the butterfly, looked so vintage & pretty. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely card.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh how funny the conversation you had with little Mr. P about your "dad" picking you up!
Erin asked me the other day how I could be older than Mike (I am 15 months older) if he is taller than me :)
This is beautiful Maureen, the colours are gorgeous. I can see you've been busy since you got home. Carol x
ReplyDeleteMaureen, the Fri nite Dylusion class was quite a stretch for me. I'm glad I took the thin gloves, that helped. I found that I needed to just not worry about how 'it would look', and just do whatever. Some of the pieces done were fantastic, mine was kinda 'so-so', but I was just happy to learn the techniques. I don't do scrapping, journaling, and I didn't put any fancy borders on mine, do any shading, etc. Just blobbed it all on, and it was great fun. My friend thought so too. Glad you enjoyed the piece posted, and if I can answer any questions (HA!) for you, will be happy to do so. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Maureen. The butterfly is gorgeous with or without antennae - if it was mine he would be antennae-less because I'd just go and ruin it!!! Love from Christine xx
ReplyDeleteHi ScrappyMo your card is just gorgeous I could never do that I would probably mess it up! I hope you have had a lovely weekend of crafting!
ReplyDeleteLove From Rebecca xx
I think you did a great job creating such different designs with a limited variety of materials. Each card looks different! The scalloped edges of the card base work really well with the square panels and decorative frame for your butterfly.
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies and this one is gorgeous. Love the design.
ReplyDeleteHugs Sharon. x
This is gorgeous Mo. Love that black and white background you have used. Stamp?
ReplyDeleteThose kraft coloured butterflies are bootiful and well worth the money you spent!
Hugs

Glad I am not the one who issues with to antenna or not....lol It's a beautiful card, sounds like you had a good time up at the lake crafting! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! The black and white frame is a stunner. Pretty butterfly, too. I think I would just cut some antennae from cardstock or use wire because I would be sure to ruin my card if I started using a marker for it. LOL But, you seem pretty confident about it. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteHaving less supplies makes me more creative. but don't get me wrong..I love all my supplies, teehee.
So gorgeous and I love that big beautiful butterfly!!
ReplyDeleteLynn

What a sweet butterfly and the "diamond" sprinkled around give this an elegant feel!
