Saturated Canary Hollywood in Red

Good morning everyone, hope you are well! Hope my typing works out ok because I managed to cut myself when die cutting yesterday-but its a new project I cant wait to see how it comes out and share with you all so hopefully itl all be worth it!
Here I am with a Saturated Canary card, I wanted it to be simple and stylish like the digi and I think ive managed to pull it off! :-)
I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, then cut round her with a nestie. I used Echo Park 'Victoria Gardens' paper and I only used one paper because this one is so stunning you really dont need any more. I then  placed the nestie slightly slanted, added a 'Thinking of you' sentiment, strips of ribbon from Lidl and Card Candy :-) I took this photo against the backdrop of our gorgeous Azalea and some grasses-they are spectacular so wanted to make the most of them!

An Altered Butterfly Mirror

Ribbons Galore Butterfly Easel Card

Good morning everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a project that is a little bit different! The patterns on the butterfly are made entirely of ribbon :-)
For this project I used my Cricut to cut a large butterfly shape, then I affixed Ribbon all over the Butterfly then cut round it from behind with material scissors. Then I edged it with stickles to stop the ribbons fraying.
I attached this to a 6x6 easel card, and used Papermania Secret Garden papers as a background. I added some ribbon to the base, and matching wire mesh butterflies in each corner.

Butterfly in Buttons Canvas

Good morning everyone, hope you are well! Here I am with a canvas I have made with my favourite subject butterflies!
For this project I cut two different sized Butterflies from my Cricut create, which I then drew round with pencil on my canvas. I mixed a colour with Acrylic paints to make my background colour and painted this round the butterflies shapes I had drawn on.
Next I raided my Vintage buttons tin! I found lots of gorgeous buttons to use and made the butterfly shape with my assorted buttons :-)

Butterfly Engagement

Good evening everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a card I made for my cousins engagement. I used Echo Park papers. I started with the Script paper and edged it with pink ink. I then cut butterflies out of the papers and some out of glitter card. I then edged these with pink ink too. I placed the butterflies across the card and folded them up as if flying. The large butterfly has two layers of wings, out of glitter card and paper on top. I then embellished the paper butterflies with gems.
I then added pearls in the top corner, then added some to a label shape where I added my sentiment.
