Butterflies


Ok, so once again Just Us Girls has a technique challenge and this is another one I've never done before. It's a shaving cream technique and I may have to use it again sometime!






I love the bright colors I used but struggled to figure out what to do for the card design. I
knew I wanted to use the paper created with the technique as a background but tried 3
other ideas for the rest of the card before settling on this. First I stamped a floral flourish
and wasn't happy with it. Then I stamped balloons and didn't like that either and then I
stamped some butterflies and colored them but didn't like the way they turned out so I just
decided to go with these punched butterflies.  Then I couldn't figure out how to add a
sentiment that looked okay with the rest of the design so I went without thinking this
would make an okay all occasion card. So the you have it. Thanks for taking a look!

  2. I too love bright colors and your card does not disappoint! Don't worry, not every card needs a sentiment on the front, that's what the inside is for!! Thanks for joining us at Just Us Girls!
