A tangerine flower

Just add ink

I went with flowers and texture and made this card

The flower is a button with the shank cut off. The butterfly is one from my stash of left overs. The stem is made by knotting some embroidery thread. To finish I added faux stitching and some rick rack braid. 

A couple of years ago a friend bought me a little gift from a flea market. It was a piece of cardboard with a variety of odd buttons packed onto it. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts that I have received and years later I am still finding uses for them.

Half Embossed Butterflies

Butterfly spot challenge. have these cues

 

 

I made a card with some Hot pink butterflies

 

 

I was trying to use my die for embossing but didn't quiet get it right. It cut through the Card stock in certain places but I folded up the wings where it did and added coloured butterflies where it didn't and am very happy with the results.

The pink butterflies are cut from a Birthday card I received a couple of years ago.
