Card Swap

It feels like such a long time since I've posted anything! It has been a busy two weeks and I've primarily been working on cards for a card swap that I'm finishing up! The theme was Fantasy and we were only allowed to use black, white and silver. It took me a while to come up with what I wanted to do. When I think of "Fantasy" I think of fairies, dragons, castles, ogres, elves, etc.


The main part of my card is this great stamp I got at Michaels made by Inkadinkado. I love buterflies and when I saw that this butterfly was made up by fairies I thought it would be perfect! Can you see all three fairies? The stamp inside the card is a flower made up of butterflies:) I cut my black cardstock to 12 by 4, then scored at 4 and at 10 to get the side gatefold. I stamped the image onto white cards stock and then cut around it. I then used sticky tape to only put adhesive on the middle when I put it on the silver glittery paper so that I could bend the wings up and give it some dimension. I then cut the silver paper slightly bigger than the butterfly. I also used another stamp from Inkadinkado for the swirl on the outside. I then added gems and pearls to give it a little bling. It is simple, but I think it turned out beautifully

I made this card for a card swap, with no challenges in mind, but it fits for a few so I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Practical Scrappers- stamp
Digi Doodles- 3D
Cardz TV- no cricut!
Alphabet challenge- W is for wings

    This is great! That butterfly is beautiful! I probably wouldn't have noticed the fairies if you hadn't said they were there. So cool.
