Special Wishes - With Love - Butterfly 7" square card - Day 152 of my 366 day challenge

Special Wishes - With Love - Butterfly 7" square card - 

Day 152 of my 366 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

I have had this "Bohemian Dreams" paper collection from Craftwork Cards for some time and thought I would make something from it (along with a butterfly from another of their kits.

                                                                                                                                                  I first of all covered the clock template in Cosmic Shimmer "Pearl Lustre" Metallic Gilding polish and let it dry and having decided that I didn't think the cardstock was heavy enough. cut a circle out of it using the Tattered Lace "Pin Dot Circles" die set  once it was dry. 

I then cut out 2 panels in the red cardstock that comes in the accompanying paper collection using the square versions.

I then glued the larger of the 2 red panels towards the top left hand corner and the smaller one at an angle at the bottom right hand side. Having attached the circle topper to the circle, I used some foam pads to place it on the larger of the two panels. I had some of the purple and white butterflies from a previous Craftwork Cards collection, so used one on the smaller square, placing it at an angle.

I then used some Nuvo Crystal drops along the body of the butterfly and placed some in various places on its' wings. I used some also to add some "corner" embellishments.

I also used the "With Love" stamp from the Clarity "Line Writing" sentiment stamp set and embossed it using black Versafine ink pad and "Clear" embossing powder. 

I didn't use an insert but embossed the "With Love" sentiment inside to match the outside.
