I used the Stampin Up Hardwood background stamp, while the butterfly and sentiment are from the Stampers Anonymous Perspective set. I embossed the butterfly in black before adding colour with DIs using a blending tool. I added colour to the letters on the sentiment with a distress marker.
A short and sweet post today, lunch is calling and a walk beckons this afternoon as part of my New Year resolve to increase my levels of physical activity. Got to get those steps in!
Hope your weekend is going well!

ReplyDeleteGood for you that you are being so proactive about your steps! I need to do that too : )

Gorgeous card, I love the colours and the butterfly. I hope you are doing well, hugs, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteAlmost missed this - I expect your niece loved this. There's a terrific glow to the wings of the butterfly & that woodgrain is perfect as a background for you can just imagine the creature alighting on it during a sunny day - basking as these insects are wont to do.

A stunning card - the butterfly is absolutely beautiful but I also love the background, it's really effective. Lucky niece! Hope you have a good week and well done for upping your steps each day - such a good idea but so hard to do when it's cold and wet!
