I have been working a lot with butterflies lately, just that time of year I guess. I created this card for a local card swap where we all make card kits and spend the day working on each other's cards. FUN! I needed a card that didn't take too much of any particular paper, so I pieced this beauty.
I layered strips of Authentique and Recollections (honeycomb) paper and accentuated it with my favorite technique, paper ribbon scrunching. I shared this with the girls, who had never seen it before. Everyone loved it! It is the best way to use those long paper scraps that you can't use for dies and couldn't bear to part with.
I stamped the butterfly by Hero Arts and watercolored him with Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber (my favorite color ever!!!) Distress Inks. Below is the detail of the paper ribbon scrunching. Mist the paper with water and scrunch IN and do not flatten to create the look. Thanks for coming by today!

Love all the layers and the scrunched paper. Adding your butterfly to the label panel makes it pop even more. Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie.
