Things With Wings ~ Butterfly Card

This week's Fabulous Friday challenge at Frosted Design is Things With Wings.  If you haven't already heard, my Gypsy got very sick.  I have a replacement in process, but had to find a way to create my projects without her for a while.  I dusted off my Cricut Imagine and made this card.

I even tried Cricut Craft Room!!  I do like that I can put the images where I want them on my mat.  I also like that I can separate an image into layers and delete the pieces I don't need.

I don't really know why the brown ink stained the top of my paper or why the butterflies did not cut out.

I trimmed the butterflies.  I trimmed the border off of one of them.  I inked both of them with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo.  

I cut the card in half and adhered the first butterfly to the front.  I cut apart the banner and pop-dotted them across the top corner.  I bent up the wings of the butterfly and pop-dotted the body on top of the first butterfly.  

I used turquoise Martha Stewart glitter glue on the butterfly wings and fire opal on the body and for the spots.  I stamped "flutter" on the bottom corner of the card.

I added "soar!" in tiny alphabet stickers to the banner flags.  I adhered twine across the top of the banner and glued twine knots to the corners of the banner flags.

Here is a side view of the butterfly layers.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you create a project with wings and link up with us at Frosted Designs this week!!
