Butterfly Birthday

Hello there! Spring is back in Melbourne, after a very chilly week and people are out enjoying the warmth with smiles on their faces! Spring makes me think of flowers and butterflies.
I was inspired by the pretty shoe in the Runway Inspired challenge and was tempted to make a shoe shaped card, but well I decided to go with my default design favourite!

I began by embossing the white card with an embossing folder and then added a few splats of distress ink. Next I made a stencilled background with distress inks  and when dry, die cut the butterfly. The leaves have also been die cut - the cork was quite tricky as it is so fragile. I then arranged the foliage and butterfly on the card, adding the sentiment and bling.

Also a reminder about the Mixed Media Card Challenge  - the theme is Autumn colours  - you have until 25 september to enter and this month we have a great sponsor!

ETA: I'm also entering this in Simon's Monday Challenge - Rock the Techniques! One of my favourite techniques at the moment is stencilling!
supplies: embossing folder, WR Memories;   Dies, Simon Says Leaf cluster , CASual Fridays - casual vine;  stamp, Altenew Label Love; Ink Ranger distress ink spiced marmalade and seedless preserves.
