This one is a little different for me, sort of vintagey. I stamped the bird cage from My Cute Stamps "Ashley's Blossoms" set and then cut it out. Yes. I did say that. I cut it out!! Hard to believe I know! :) I also cut out all 3 of the butterflies!! Getting a little ambitious, huh? All of the butterflies have been colored over with my Spica clear glitter pen so they are very sparkly in real life!! The bird cage is layered on part of a Mat Stack 4 frame that I used a woodgrain impression plate on and then ran my VersaMark pad over the top of to define the lines.
Here is the sketch that this card is based on.
Fun huh!!
Here's another look at the colors I used from the Curtain Call Challenge:

ReplyDeleteWow- where to start? I love the colors, I love the way you used only a portion of the mat stack die, and I LOVE the way those butterflies (that you cut by hand, no less) look against the music background!
