I used my promarkers and coloured the image using inspiration from the design team on the East Wing Challenge. I loved the fact that everyone on the DT had used the same image and yet the cards were all so different.
I layered the butterfly as i felt it just had to be done such a pretty butterfly it just wanted to fly off the page! I have made the card for my daughter who is not 10 until July, but i know she will love the picture too.
I used my silhouette to cut the numbers out, inked the edges of one of the layers, and stitched the base layer with my sewing machine. I added a flourish, doylie, some lace from the works and some flowers from WOC. Some stickles to the butterfly, and a heart that i moulded using air dry clay. I was tempted to put glossy accents on her eyes but i feel they look fab with out it.
Thanks for looking!
