Hey, it's almost the weekend! Only one more week day and then we all get crafting time. :-D Last weekend, I did all my cards which were posted this week and will probably do the same thing this coming weekend.
For today, I want to share with you a card with a lovely Fabrika Fantasy image. I've used her before but that time I did all fall colors. This time I tried to be more spring-like with the colors.
As usual, I used ProMarkers to color her, adding Cadet Blue glitter to the four tiny butterflies in the image (can you find them?), then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders. Once cut, I used chalks (as close to the Cadet Blue butterflies as possible) around the border and background of the die cut image.
I printed the sentiment, and hand cut it. I found a strip of sheer, golden-tan, ribbon (which looks gray-brown in the photo) and wrapped it around an embossed piece of CS which I used for the card front.
The large, yellow, butterfly is an applique I made on my sewing machine, using a computer generated program, so it was little work for me other than selecting and changing out the threads.
