Irish Blessing



   For this card I cut and embossed pale teal core'dinations cardstock using the Tonic Monarch arch butterfly die set. I attached this to darker teal core'dinations cardstock and then sprayed it with Crafter's Companion iridescent glitter (although the photo does not really show this) and mounted it onto a white card base which I had cut to fit the contours of the design. I then die cut three butterflies from teal mirri card and attached them with glue gel and glued mini gems around the arch.
   The stamped verse is from a Chocolate Baroque stamp set and I mounted it onto teal mirri card which had been cut cut using a Spellbinders decorative labels eight die. The three surrounding butterflies were from the same set of stamps and were coloured using Promarkers.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Crafting Musketeers - butterflies

  6. This is very pretty and the die cuts are wonderful. However, our challenge at The Paper Shelter is PUNCHES AND DIES and we are looking for cards that feature both punches and dies. You do, however, have time to add punches to this card or make another card for our challenge. We'd love to see you join us! Hugs, Gail, DT
