Blue Butterflies

I have a card for this week's Less is More challenge today...where the theme is to use your eye colour. My eyes are mostly blue...with a little bit of green in the middle...so I've chosen to use a couple of shades of greenish blue...aqua & teal. I was lucky to win a prize from Totally Papercrafts a week or so ago, that had been donated by Lady LIM Mandi...and included with the fab set of stamps and yummy papers, were some punched (?) and embossed butterflies. So, taking those as my starting point, I embossed some Core'Dinations card with a Craft Concepts 'Butterflies' folder, then lightly sanded over the suface. I cut it into three squares, mounted them on to my card (I think I've used a sketch layout from a previous LIM challenge!) using 3D foam, then popped the butterflies on top...adding some adhesive pearls for their bodies. The stamped sentiment is from the 'Heartfelt Messages' set by Hero Arts.


Here's a view showing the dimension:
