Glittery Butterfly Card

Happy Friday!

Today's card came together pretty much by accident.  This isn't at all what I set out to make.  *LOL*

I am entering this into the Birthday Bash challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut.  The challenge is to make a birthday project.  

I went through looking at my usual birthday images of cupcakes and such, and nothing was inspiring me.  I happened to find this pretty butterfly on Cake Basics and decided to use it.

I cut the top layer in black, and a back layer in white.  

I took the top layer and carefully added some thick Red Line Tape all over it.  Then I dumped some loose Martha Stewart Glitter over the exposed tape.

I attached the white layer behind it and then cut away the excess tape

This would have been easier if I had a full sticky sheet to cut out as the solid butterfly, but I didn't.  You could also kiss cut a material like that so that you could remove each section separately and more easily get a variety of colors.  I'd love to try that sometime, but today I used what I had on hand.

I took the butterfly to my Martha Stewart Score Board and made lines where the wings started so I could fold them up easily.

I went with a square card base.  The corners are all rounded on a 1/2 inch setting.

I went around the edges with one of my Chomas Creations Gel Pens.

Along the bottom I used my EK Success Open Scallop punch on some pretty cardstock that is somewhat metallic looking.

I added some black satin ribbon.

The sentiment was spelled out using 2 different SP & Company stamp sets from their Mix & Match line.

Thanks so much for visiting me today :)
