All occasion card with an aperture created by triangles of decorative paper and an embossed butterfly


 I found four of these triangles and after a bit of auditioning found that they created a frame around the edge of my card.  I went looking in my decorative paper stash to find a piece that coordinated.  I found this blue one and added several lengths of white tissue paper just to create some texture.  I found the gray butterfly in my stash and embellished it with some embossing and a bit of sponging to give it some colour.  I die cut the butterfly body using a QuicKutz die from black cardstock and adhered it to my butterfly using white glue.  When it was dry I used a slim piece of 3D foam tape in the center to adhere my focal element to my card front.  I used a fine tip black marker to create a swirly flight path and then decided to add a black wavy border as well.  The marker caught a little on the edges of the paper where they overlapped but I have decided it works with the randomly drawn line.     Therese
