I have a card design today using the new Nature Fragment set from Chocolate Baroque along with a pretty butterfly from Butterfly Daisy Collage and sentiment from Birthday Words.
The background is watercolour paper that I used to 'mop up' inks from a previous card. It's actually the watered down version of the Blue cards you saw last month :) I spritzed a little water and added a little sea salt that created the spots. When dry I stamped with the flourish fragment from Nature Fragments using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.
I embossed the Butterfly from Butterfly Daisy Collage with Silver, cut it out and attached. When the card was finished I added stickles. The matting and die cuts are in dark brown (hard to tell in the photo) and I stamped the greeting with brown Dye Ink.
Dies used: Cheery Lynn- Cuties 1 B149 (border which can be made into a flower) and Mini Flourish One B170.
Thanks for your visit !
Shirley

Gorgeous mop up background! The butterfly with the die cut border is fab.
Very pretty card - and blue is my favourite colour!
It always amazes me when you can make something this gorgeous with left overs Shirley!! Beautifully done!! Have a fantastic weekend!
This card is wonderful with this pretty butterfly! I love the blue background, too!
Super effect with the salt & I love the brown with those aqua & violet colours. The flourish with the butterfly makes it look as if he has a tail - almost swallowtail, like the exotic butterflies on nature programmes. The butterfly really glows.
