Something a little bit different...

This card is a little different to my usual style. It is not as bright and this paper is not something I would usually choose but I thought I would try something a little different for my recent order of Anniversary cards.

I am not sure who the paper is by as it was bought in a job lot from the Make it show in Farnborough and the stamp was bought last year from Ally Pally but I inked it up for the 1st time when I made this card. I will be using it a lot more from now on though as I love it!
The card was very simple and quick to put together. I first cut a piece of card to fit the card base and layered it with the patterned paper. I sewed around all the edges and wrapped around two layers of ribbon before sticking it to the card blank.
I stamped and coloured the Butterfly with my Promarkers. I coloured some white stamens with my black Promarkers and stuck it behind the Butterfly with my glue gun. I then added black gems to the Butterfly's body before sticking it to the top of the card.
I stamped the Elzybells sentiment to the bottom of the card and added gems to highlight it. As a finishing touch, I added a bow and a little heart pearl.
Have a lovely Monday!
