Good morning everyone!
This is the first Saturday in weeks that we are not getting a snow storm. Of course it's still very cold this morning, but I will take that over a snow storm.
I am featuring another new die from the January release called," Waltzing Butterflies". For this card I used Gold metallic paper to die cut the Butterflies. On a strip of book paper trace around the outside edge of Butterfly die cut and cut away that portion. Lightly paint over the book paper with White paint. Ink the edges of the paper with Brown ink and spatter with Black paint. Adhere the book paper strip to Black cardstock . Spatter with White paint. Glue the Butterfly die cut in place. In the body area of the butterflies glue a pen nib. Stamp the birthday saying and the Christmas sentiment on Parchment cardstock. Cut the sentiment elements from these stamped images and glue in place. Add Black pearls for a finishing touch.

Very clever use of pen nibs. A very creative card.
Love the artistic feel of this, especially with the pen nib butterfly bodies!!
Thanks for showing all the unique ways to create butterfly bodies! Also love the color combinations.
So clever. I would never have thought of using the pen nibs. Very creative and beautiful!
