Hello Everyone, I hope all is well with you all.
My card today was for a friend, who sadly didn't receive it. I made a couple of versions of the butterfly, one is here. Of which, a few didn't make it to a card. However, I was pleased with both of them.
With this one, I started with the butterfly, I stamped it and die cut it, then put a mixture of Pixie Powders onto my glass mat and added some water and gold ink. The butterfly was placed onto the wet powder and dried. I then decided it needed more shine, so I added 3D glaze. I stamped some text in 2 corners of the base card and dragged an ink pad over it. Next I added a shadow with DI's and some crafting threads, then attached the butterfly to the centre of it. A stamped sentiment was added. A simple card that I was so pleased with, and to think it wasn't received is very annoying. I've also had another card not received, I'll show it to you in another post.

More great use of that pretty Pinkfresh die cut butterfly Faith, and love the added script to each side and the sentiment banner and bit of thread beneath the butterfly..a brilliant idea! x

Faith, this is so beautiful! I love the shine on that gorgeous butterfly and your card is just so pretty. I've never heard of the Pixie Powders so will have to check that out.

This is beautiful Faith loving that butterfly and the background. It is such a shame that your friends never received their cards I think the Post Office has a lot to answer for

This is gorgeous Faith ... fabulous colouring technique with the butterfly, and I love the whole layout. You have reminded me that I bought some silver thread a few weeks ago specifically to put onto cards and I haven't used it ... must look it out! So sorry it went AWOL in the post - there is no doubt that Royal Mail has lost the plot and gone ridiculously expensive whilst doing it!!

What a shame your friend didn't receive this beauty. Love those soft colours and that shine xx
what a lovely card you created for you friend, faith. so frustrating that she didn't receive it as she would have loved it.
Hope that the card isn't "lost and will arrive at its destination later! That butterfly is just a beauty and love the background!
This card is stunning Faith! I'm sorry it didn't reach the person you intended for. That stinks. Your butterfly looks so cool up close, almost looks like mother of pearl. Love the scripty stamping and the fabulous thread you used. Hugs, Brenda
This is a beautiful butterfly and a wonderful card. You put a lot of work into those pretty details and it turned out so lovely!
Love everything about this Faith, it is so beautiful and such a shame it wasn’t delivered but it may still turn up - we had some Christmas cards delivered at the end of January !! xx
So sorry that the Royal Mail let you down, Faithie. It's hard enough to make cards without having to deal with them getting lost. Your butterfly is magnificent in all its shining pixie glory, xoxo
Beautiful card. I hope the Lord keep you and heal what needs mending.
Wow Faith, what a stunner, the background is fabulous and I love the butterfly wings, so beautiful..it is such a shame when mail does not make it to it's destination..happens far too often these days.

A really elegant design and a beautiful shine to the butterfly.
WOW..this is Gorgeous Faith, very creative as always. Love it. xx
This is so stunning Faith and I can understand you being cross it hasn't arrived. But there is hope - I had to chase up an amazing bargain I found on ebay which didn't turn up for weeks and has suddenly arrived when everyone had given up! Your comment 'I decided it needed more shine' made me chuckle. That is such a crafter thing to say! Vicky x
Such a beautiful creation! Love everything about it!
Absolutely gorgeous card! The mail service sounds shameful. I sure hope they improve. I wonder what's going on?
This is one really beautiful butterfly and very lovely CAS design too.
This card is so elegant and beautiful and the added texture makes it all pop for sure!
