This is at night.......................................and this during a dull day, I love metallic finishes!
Apologies for the poor quality photos in my last 2 posts, the port on the computer for my camera card is broken so I've taken to using the IPad. I have trouble holding it steady so, even if the camera is fine, the user isn't LOL
This is a photograph of the topper that I made and removed from a card, I was not happy with it and it has sat in my recycling box (one of the many) probably for about a year. The whole thing is too big for a CAS card unless it is huge. So I cut them out!
The die cut at the back was left from another project so is also using up left overs.
I used Crafty individuals stamp and IndigoBlu gilding flakes
Die from Memory Box, Tithonia Flourish.

No tennis today and footy doesn't start until 5pm, I've been dodging the showers, in and out :D
Have a lovely week everyone, Hugs Gay x
p.s I have been watching 'The 100' anyone seen it? I like a bit of sci-fi / fantasy now and again :D x
Love it Gay and that metLlic finish is very pretty! Chris x

Love the recycle! Those metallic butterflies are super.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, you can get a card reader that plugs into the iPad (regular & lightning bolt types) so you can still use your camera and post from your iPad :-D

I have been drawn to your blog before to see your beautiful cards but don't think I've ever left a comment. IndigoBlu gilding flakes are fab, aren't they, and have worked really well on your butterflies. Stef
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Gay. I bet those flutterbies feel good to be out of that box!

I thought the first card looked like you had used "real" butterflies, then saw it was metallic, fab fab fab use, love the embossing with them too.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen "The 100" I too like a bit of Sci fi / fantasy. Must go and investigate it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Fab metallic flutterbys !!
