A Little Sring Vintage

I don't tend to do just one type of card because my mood is always changing. In fact, when I had orginally colored this butterfly I wasn't thinking vintage. Then as I was looking for some paper and embellies for it, the card just kinda went there on its own. It's rather simple (which is something that I really like most days), but I like how the butterfly really stands out (at least to me it does). I wish I could remember where the butterfly digi image came from, but alas I am unable to. The paper is DCVW's Cirtrus matstack and the pearls are SU!. You can't really see well in the picture, but the butterfly has some of the glitter crystal effects I made to give it some sparkle and shine. Even the paper has some glitter on the little flowers.


Challenges used:
Flutter by Wed - butterfly/fairy/angel with sparkle
Quixotic Paperie - spring themed
All sorts challenge - petals and pearls
Oh Alice - flowers
Scrap, Stamp, and be merry - make it a combo (I used many challenges as well as four punches)

Ooh, I can see the sparkly on the butterfly! I must know how you make that! How much DD did you put in your CE? And did you start with a new bottle of CE? If you get a chance...my email is nball81@embarqmail.com
