A Butterfly Hop!


 Today I am participating in Eva Dobilas' Butterfly Hop! What a fun idea!

Here's my butterfly card!
For the butterfly, I die cut one out of black cardstock, because my original idea was a black and white card.  Then after I put the layers together, it was missing something.....COLOR!  So, I added Melon Mambo dsp behind the white top note and swiss dot embossed panel.  And I got out my Perfect Pearls and after embossing the butterfly, I brushed/smooshed some pearls all over it.  I added 3 pink rhinestone brads in the middle, and then put the middle up on pop up dots to make it look more realistic, like it's flying off the card.  I also added a rhinestone flight trail.  I found the idea somewhere, but I can't remember where!  If you thought of it, please give yourself credit!



This is just a head on shot.

Enjoy the blog hop!  Go here to get back to the linked list!
