Metallic butterfly


I've used some washi tapes for the background and butterfly. Triple heat embossed the butterfly outline with rose gold embossing powder.

Linking up at three challenges:
Butterfly Challenge - Letter B (Butterfly, Buff and Birthday)
CAS Mix Up - Metal + stamping + your choice
(I used washi tape, heat embossing, die-cuts and stamping)
Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes
Watercooler Wednesday - All About Occasions

Thank you for looking!

What an elegant and gorgeous card, Sue! Love the triple heat-embossed butterfly outline, and the fantastic use of the washi tape! Is the entire purple & gold background washi tape!? Amazing!

Thank you, Hideko. Yes the washi tape is about 3 inches or so wide with gold running along the centre.

That washi tape in the background is really pretty with the gold running through it, and the triple embossed butterfly is beautiful over the top Sue, and the gold sentiment finishes it perfectly. A wonderful card. x

Mrs A. said...

Hello Sue, well we finally managed it! I have seen other people using a wide washi tape on their cards but not seen any yet IRL. It really does look striking here on your cards and the butterfly just adds that final touch. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me . Do hope you will come and play again. Hugs Mrs A.
