It's a Twofer Butterfly Challenge

Hello and Welcome to  today's post.

If you have been checking up on me lately

you will know I have had butterfly images

floating around my blog quite a bit lately.

Now who doesn't love them. We have so many

in our stash it is hard to choose just which ones to play with - and

 The Twofer Card Challenge prompt is just that!

Off course I made time to play and here are my 

Twofer Butterfly Cards.

I tried to think of something out of the ordinary

BUT that flew out of the window with some of my butterflies.

So mine are the 'conventional' sort.

For my first card I went a bit grungy here
with my trusty Brusho's. I love the result
you get with the black and added orange and yellow
to the mix. I used acetate to move the colours around.
I even added a bit of  Gelatos Gold Champaigne
and some Burnt Orange Magicals.
I stamped my butterfly with black embossing powder
and also a spare to pop blending in with the same colours
 as my background and fussy cut.
Stamped a couple of plain butterfly images
from STAMPlorations Trendy Butterflies
in Tim's Black Soot. Sentiment is also
from the same set.
To add interest I randomly inked some Kaisercraft Script.
This was all cut from a stitched die and
attached to black card stock.

For my second card I started by adding some
dry wall tape to a piece of kraft card stock
and layered it with DecoArt Crackle Paste
leaving it to dry then decided to pull the tape off
and was happy with the result. This was cut with
a Sizzix Banner and popped. My background is a mix
from SU Timeless Textures in
Tim's Abandoned Coral and Prima Marketing Bare inks.
I heat embossed my butterfly in white and smooched/dried
in Abandoned Coral and again fussy cut.
Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Pocket Blooms.
This was cut with a stitched die and adhered to
Kraft card stock to finish.

Just in case you aren't familiar with this challenge
you make 2 cards with the same stamp/die
 but for 2 different occasions.

Here is a photo of the butterfly stamps I got from a friend.
 If anyone knows the maker I would love to hear from you
so I can give credit.

I have been busy lately creating for a few of my Favourite Blogs
and getting DT postings up and scheduled as some of you know
 I will be away for a few weeks so what you see
from now on are Scheduled.
Thanks for dropping in and leaving your Comments.
So it's Cherrio for a wee while
