Welcome Friend

Hello crafters!  I started this card by using a variety of alcohol inks on a piece of Yupo card.  I used raspberry, citrus, purple twilight and patina alcohol inks randomly all over.  I cut the Butterfly Breeze Cover Plate in white and glued it over the alcohol inked background.  I cut the butterfly part of the die a second time and glittered the butterflies with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then glued them over the butterflies on the original die.  I cut the Welcome Friend sentiment in black and added the words to two white shadow backing pieces.  I added mounting foam to the back of them then added them to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6"  x  7"  in size.

  3. Hi Sue. I love today's card. There is something really magical about the background, probably because of the dark colours you have used which make the butterflies stand out beautifully.

  4. Good Morning Sue and all that visit today.
    Firstly let me apologise for my absence over the weekend I was away with my sister and nieces for a girly weekend catch up in Hornsea. It was so lovely ... But alas No internet. I have just looked back to the ones I missed and they are lovely cards.
    Today s card ...again, and as always, beautiful. I like that you could make quite a few of these ... Minus the greeting ... then with a different sentiment you have a quick card for any occasion.
    I love the multi coloured back ground.
    Thankyou Sue. hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

  10. I’m not too sure about this one but as always I love the butterfly die. I think it maybe needs something plainer to show it off. Sorry sue x
