Skipping Stones Design - Let it Be

Hi Everyone,

I am over at the Skipping Stones Design blog today with my card, using this beautiful set called
Let it Be


This is the set:


Don't you love the chevron butterfly? I sure do! 
I first heat embossed it in gold and then stamped it in black and fuzzy cut it.



I water colored around the edges of the butterfly. Let it dry and added black splatters. Wrapped gold embroidery thread around the black butterflies waist and mounted it with a thin strip of foam tape for extra dimension.




I hope you liked this! Thanks for visiting!
Happy Stamping!

What fool wouldn't like this...the color combo is right up my alley and those butterflies look gorgeous. Not to mention, the embellishments and sentiment are fabulous. Love that horizontal stripe on the left side, too.

This is one of those hugely impactful cards, Cornelia! I love the sharp chevron lines and gold of the butterfly against the bold and warm flow of sunset color! The side strip is the icing on the cake!! Hugs, Darnell

Bold, striking and so gorgeous, Cornelia ... the graphic chevrons on the butterfly are such a brilliant contrast with the soft, unstructured watercolour background! Hugs, Anita :)
