Hey everyone!
Gosh guys….sorry I am late with this post. I thought I had something ready to be published, but I didn’t have a thing not even a draft….LOL! and I thought I was going so well this week. Well its’ colour challenge week and when I first saw them I had a small “OMG” moment! LOL! Take a look-
Without further ado here is my card for this week
I am in love with this die right now, and I plan to have lots of fun with it in the next couple of weeks to see what else I can do with it. The two half butterflies on the die were used to create the blue part of the butterfly. Folding CS in half, I cut out the big one first and then keeping it half I strategically placed it to cut it again with the smaller butterfly. The pink DSP is one of the whole butterflies on the die. Does any of that make sense??? I am starting to think it is too late at night to explain anything in great detail! LOL!
Here’s a closer look instead
I used the flourish from the Elements of Style (surprise surprise…LOL!) to decorate the base. The basic pearls to create a body and the pins are from my scrapping stash. I have had them so long now I cannot remember buying them…….let alone where from. I have had them well before I had even heard of Stampin’ Up! LOL! It’s great to see they were put to good use. Aren’t they the cutest antenna?!

How did I miss this one Kirsty? Love love love it! & I’m quite obsessed with the butterfly die too.
Thanks so much for sharing your awesome double butterfly trick & gorgeous projects at convention. I think I’ve finally got the placement right now & made some ‘Kirsty samples’ last week.
Hope you have a great week. Inky hugs, Di

Thanks for sharing this Kirsty. My friends who made it to convention told me about your beautiful butterfly and its taken me a while to get it lined up, but it has finally worked and it will be making a “WOW” appearance at my next few workshops!! I just LOVE it !!
