{ Layered butterfly freebie }

I know totally random post today since I am sharing a freebie. Didn’t quite make the Card Kit Monday, even though I am thinking about it. I was sharing files every Monday and making a card with them and sometimes I even had a video. There were lots of downloads, but I have never seen anyone make anything with them. I am still thinking about sharing free files, I have lots of them.

Today I am sharing a card I created using Silhouette Studio files that I designed. I was cleaning my studio yesterday and placed a stack of layouts (40) in an album. One of them had these cute layered butterflies from Crate Paper, Notes and Things. I decided to make my own. I used a freebie butterfly I already had that I created last year and used on a card I created for Card Kit Monday. I changed this butterfly a little bit by adding a center piece. I layered all three and used my sewing machine for the center. The exact size of the butterflies: L 2.25 M 1.625 S 1.25 You can make them any size that you need.

Hello by Daniela Dobson

I used Fab Friday 87 for the sketch and The Challenge #73 for the colors. The diagonal stripe background was cut from white cardstock and for the insert from a different card background. I have been seeing diagonal lines like this on various cards and I like it.  I added some whipped spackle  to the background and watercolor paint. I added a vellum frame and a strip of polka dot vellum as a banner for the House of Cards challenge. For the hand drawn circle I have several different ones here and here. Make sure you visit the FREEBIES page and download what you like. I cut “hello” from black and white cardstock and layered them with a little offset. It’s my own handwriting.
