CAS Butterflies


There's a lot of one layer/clean and simple challenges at the moment and so I thought I'd have a go with this little card. I'm not one for going over the top with layers/embellishments but I'm not convinced about this card either. I think it needs a sentiment but I couldn't find one that I liked to go with it or they were too big. Anyway, I made this card by printing the image directly using a big and juicy ink pad to get the change in colour (although the photo has gone a bit blue; it does really start with purple at the top and change to green) then just added a little stick on butterfly over the top of one of the butterflies on the paper.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - One layer
Less is more - Anything clean and simple goes
Mark's Finest Papers - One layer
Totally PaperCrafts - Clean and Simple
My time to craft - Kaleidoscope of colour
Flutterby Wednesday - Open

  1. This is a lovely card Squiggle, but it's been combined with one too many challenges for us at "Less is More", where we have a max of five. This is a special week however....thanks so much for helping us in our attempt to reach 1000 entries this week.
