I decided to pull it out and make up a simple card with it. The image was already edged with a gilded edge. I added a snippet of pearlescent navy for a mat and stickled the butterfly wings and some of the flowers with Stardust stickles. Set that onto a kraft card base and left it at that.
A very simple card but one that I will be happy to give to a friend...I need to remember more often that they do not always have to be detailed to still be enjoyed! Hopefully you can see the shimmer of the stickles...

Very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely image Mo, I can see why you liked it so much. I can almost smell the scent of these lovely spring flowers. A welcome reminder of spring, it has been decidedly chilly and wintery here this week.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty card. I always feel like it is cheating to make cards like this, but really there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it is a lovely gesture with a card you liked so much.
ReplyDeleteBTW, your word verification is seriously drunk.
Wonderful upcycling! What a beautiful card--I would have saved that image, too!
