All occasion card featuring a beautiful decorative paper background and a gold embossed butterfly

A card for my sister who lost her husband a few weeks ago.  It is always hard to lose a loved one!!! 

I found this beautiful decorative paper in my stash and thought it was perfect for the card I was making for her.  I trimmed it to fit on my large blue card, paper pierced the four sides and then added a tiny strip of the same cardstock just below the butterfly.  I gold embossed the butterfly, fussy cut it and then painted the edges with gold watercolour to remove the white edge.  I watercoloured it to coordinate with the background!!  I love the way it turned out!!!

All occasion card featuring a gold embossed fussy cut butterfly over grosgrain ribbon with brads

 A card for a family who has lost their Dad.  It is always hard to lose a loved one!!!

I started with a large dark brown card and then trimmed the leafy background.  I added a piece of coordinating grosgrain ribbon with double sided tape to it and then added the three copper brads on the left hand side.  I adhered this large element to the card front and then added the focal element with 3D foam tape.  The focal element is a gold embossed butterfly (Magenta) which I fussy cut and then painted the edges with gold watercolour to remove any white edge.  I watercoloured the different areas to coordinate with the background.    Therese
