I did this card for PBS Swappers Black and White Card Challenge this week. I cut squares out of Polar Ice White paper from the Paper company and attached them to black card stock. I then cut butterflies out out black dictionary text using the Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I adhered them using the small Zot dots, I only put one small dot in the center because I wanted the wings to raise like the butterflies were flying. I then added a small pearl in the center of the body. I made a couple of borders by stacking black and polar ice paper. I love the shimmer and elegance that the polar ice and the pearls gives the card.

ReplyDeleteNice one. Gotta love those Distress Inks.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. You nailed that challenge.
ReplyDeleteSome of the Martha Stewart paper punches were on the clearance aisle at my Wal-Mart this week $4.50 ea. The butterfly was there!!!
ReplyDeleteChristie~ Another reason that I love Black & White! Great Job!! I love the added touch of the little pearls in the middle of the butterflies. Things like that make all the difference in a papercraft project. Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Never thought of making "scenery" with Distress Inks like this - must try! The water-stamping is beautiful - what a fun and easy technique. All together - beautiful, beautiful.
