Butterfly Dreams

I've had the Sara Signature Vintage Butterfly collection for a while now and decided it is time to get on and use some of it.  These collections always look stunning when they launch them but I often have problems when I come to use them!


I decided to create a shabby chic card so I distressed and inked the edges of some squares and adhered them to another of the papers, also distressed, using foam pads.  I cut all three layers of the large Butterfly and added that to the card along with a stamped sentiment and some small circles that I added 3D Crystal Lacquer to.


Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.
