I do this thing... every once in a while I'll make a cute card element. For which I have no purpose. Then it sits. And sits. And every time I clean my desk, I find it and think, "I really need to make a card for this." Then I set it down. And it sits. Such was the case with this pretty little butterfly. I think it deserves more than a life of anonymity (holy cow, I spelled that right) buried under cardstock scraps. :-D
I used the Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die to cut out the butterfly. I combined the pieces and just tied a bit of linen thread to make the body and antenna. Of course, this card has to involve shimmer paint. I don't think I could make a card without it these days. I buffed Champagne Mist shimmer paint all over the kraft card base. It is also on the top layer and edges of the butterfly. I cut out a 3" circle using my Circle Scissor Plus and embossed the swirls using the Big Shot.
I'm glad my pretty little butterfly found a home on this card!
