Vintage butterfly card - monochrome with a splash of colour

Hello there! as well as my DT make today I have something completely non related- a card I made because I had a parcel arrive with some new goodies in- and I set myself the challenge of using most of them all on one card :)



to make this card i used -
6x6 inch card blank
dovecraft back to basics 6x6 monochrome paper
black lace
pearl droplet strand
Samaflora flowers which you can purchase here
joycrafts postcard stamp (with butterfly)
glossy accents 
heat it up embossing powders in pearl and black
Tim Holtz crackle paint in picket fence
memento tuxedo black ink
half pearls -3mm
cut files from birds cards - swirly corners and decorative frame 1



I hope you like it... I really love the touch of colour as the butterfly flies off the postcard, and everything else being monochrome!

  10. lovely card, the grey really makes the butterfly stand out, and it is a nice change from the sepia tones usually used in a vintage card. Many thanks for joining the Rhedd and Rosie’s challenge and good luck!!! Melissa (DT)
