City Crafter 249

Good morning!

Got my head screwed on right today and ready to go with a new challenge at 
Where we have Kirsty hosting for us with the theme
Love Metal


Kirsty is asking that we create a card or project that includes a metal piece

I used a metal frame


... Which I backed with acetate to mount the little butterfly


As you can see I used paints to make the background and the butterfly and I stamped "You are amazing" in Versamark which I then embossed with white EP. It doesn't show up too well on these photos I'm afraid.

Our GD this week is the talented Lenet who won the challenge in week 246 Hop over to her blog and take a look at her beautiful projects and then go and see what the rest of our team at CCCB have to share with you this week

Enjoy your day and thanks so much for looking in on me

Till soon

Oh, what a beauty! I love how you used the acetate so the butterfly can sit on it like on a window. And the colors... The sentiment is a bit hard to see but I can imagine what it looks like IRL!

Stella said...

Hello dear! Geesh your tag ; it's gorgeous! And again a color palette that I LOVE. I guess that your signature is a splattered design and every time I see it it looks great. Gorgeous take on our theme.
Have lovely evening, sending hugs!
