Wire butterfly

The challenge on Less is More this week is to use some wire on your card.  This challenge nearly stumped me until I remembered I had some wire embellishments in my stash.  I created a background with distress inks and a new stamp and mask set from PaperArtsy - I hadn't used this before so it qualifies as an NBUS for Darnell's challenge.  For those of you who don't know what NBUS pop over to Darnell's blog - she has a wonderful way with words!



Materials used:-
Distress inks - cracked pistachio, twisted citron
Stamps and mask - PaperArtsy Sara Naumann set
Die-namics pierced rectangles dies
Wire butterfly from stash

Thanks for visiting my blog - I love to read your comments! Margaret

    How beautiful! Love that inky background - the colours are perfectly blended and I am glad that embellishment 'flew' out of your stash for this week's challenge :) Thank you for playing along with us at Less Is More!

    Your background is superb. The colours are glorious and your new stamp and stencil are a perfect complement to them. Such a sweet wire embellishment too.
    Thank you so much for sharing this with us,

    Swoon!! Margaret, this card is stunning! Well done using your fabulous wire dragonfly (butterfly?)! I haven't seen who was Showcased for that challenge at LIM, but you certainly deserve to be!! Your handmade background is so awesome, it could be sold and printed as paper, and making your card tall was inspired! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #6!! Hugs, Darnell
