I am really pleased how this butterfly turned out! I wanted to achieve a look of old china and in my opinion it worked! Here is my paperpieced and crackled card:
The Ranger Rock Candy crackle paint lifted some of the paper pieces but I like the effect... This card is for the Hero Arts "paper piecing" Challenge and the Moxie Fab World "Gradient is radiant" Challenge. I used several digital kits here, the "Winged Friends" and "WORD ART-dictionary page" kits are Hero Arts, the flourishes are a kit named "MaryAnnWise Flourish Corners" (everything available at 2Peas). The stamps are Hero Arts, too. The button, ribbon and Kraft cardstock are Papertrey Ink, the patterned paper is My Minds Eye. The pearls are Prima Marketing.
Want to win a Hero Arts stamps set? There`s a little interview with me over at S.C.A.T.! Hop over to their blog and leave a comment to win!
Have a fun Friday and thank you for stopping by!
Hugs,
Vanessa
