Butterfly Frame



Thought I'd test some of my card club ladies with this one. I have an on-going joke that I only make easy cards so this one has a few more steps than usual.

I used a cream hemp effect card and stamped it with SU En Francais.  The butterfly stamp is by Indigo Blu, I stamped and then embossed with black powder. I coloured it with Cosmic Shimmer gilding polish that I'd watered down to make a sheer wash.





I used an Elizabeth Crafts die to make the 3-D frame, first time I'd used it and was pleased with the effect.
Pebeo gilding wax was then dabbed sparingly around the frame and also round the edge of one of the mats, it looks gold now but started off as tan card. Sentiment die by Tim Holtz.

The finished card is 7 x 7 inches.
