All About the Butterflies

Hello, I hope you are all having a great weekend? This is my first day out of bed after my hospital treatment, so I still feel a little fragile. To start the day off gently, I have made this Butterfly card.

The main image consists of the word "Butterfly" in different languages, with small butterflies flying around. I coloured the whole image with my AP, and the small butterflies with my markers. I then stamped the image on some saffron card to cut out the two tags, and stuck them down on 3D pads. This was then laid on some coral and saffron card that had been wrapped with a ribbon and bow. The large butterfly was coloured with my AP and markers and placed on the large tag with 3D pads. To finish it off, I added the sentiment, two Swallowtail butterflies and gems on the insects bodies.

Apothecary Art Birthday

Today, I'm avoiding the sun, and hiding in the shade indoors to do some crafting, and I made this card for my friends birthday.

I will also be submitting it to these challenges :

The sketch is from 

Seize the Sketch,

                                                                     

The colours came from Color Throwdown

and from the photo inspiration at 

Addicted to Stamps,

and  lastly, Seize the Birthday have the extra topping of 

                         "FLOWERS"

Supplies

Card - Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Silver card and base FMS

Stamps - Apothecary Art, and Papillon Potpourri

Inks - Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Black Archival, and Versamark

Tools - Big Shot, Mosaic Madness EF, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Aqua Painter, and Heat Gun

Extras - Silver EP, and 3D Pads

The Apothecary Art label was coloured with my Aqua Painter, and shaded with SU Markers, before being laid on silver card. The Butterfly was coloured the same way, with the wing edges and body touched with Versamark and heated silver EP. The sentiment was pieced together from the original stamp of "Happiest Birthday" using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.

I'm still recovering from my nightmare of loosing my all my comments, and I will make sure I don't have too many email pages open at the same time in the future!!

I hope you all have a good week, whatever you are doing.
