vintage pink

Hello there! How are you today? I hope you are well and happy!

Today I have a card to show you that I made with a few challenges in mind.


I used a Marianne Designs butterfly die and the main die is also from Mariannes Designs as is the focal thankyou stamp. I created the background directly onto the card using distress inks and a stamp from Crafty Individuals.

I stamped the focal image in black archival and cut it out with a circular die.

The butterfly I cut out from centura pearl card and then added roses down the body area of the butterfly.


All of the fabric came from That Craft Place. The pendant also came from That Craft Place and I stamped the image again in sepia and cut to fit. Then I set it in place with UTEE heated in my meltpot and poured in. 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hugs Rachel xx
