Crafty Cardmakers challenge #257 – Butterflies

Dr. Monika is hosting today’s challenge, Butterflies.
As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or home decor, as long as it meets the theme. Please make sure your butterfly/ies are a prominent part of your creation.

My card was made for a friend who passed away in March. She was a member of our craft group, and I needed to have a card to send on behalf of everyone.

I used an A5 card this time, instead of the 5 x 7 card base, which is my favourite (you would never guess, would you?) and onto that I layered some paper from a Hunkydory pad. The pad came with some die cut flowers and a bee, so I used that and the busy bee tag. The sentiment was stamped onto some more paper from the pad (matt, not foiled) andI layered it onto some plain card that I die cut.

Lily loved butterflies, so any card for her wouldn’t be complete without them. I included a couple of bees, that I stamped and coloured, because our craft group are called busy bees, and it seemed appropriate.
