Less Is More Challenge - Week 16 - Butterflies

Good Morning!

Its Saturday and that means a new challenge from the lovely ladies at Less Is More, this week it's butterflies.  To be honest I'm not a huge insecty, birdy, butterfly person but with the LIM challenge I know its got to be, well less, than more ;o)

Here is my offering.  It doesn't translate quite as well by photograph as I'd hoped but have done a couple of close ups to help you see the effect better.  I needed the white underneath to make the butterfly stand out.  I like the way the acetate with the black in gives a sort of ethereal look to the butterfly.  The intricate design of the SU stamp is perfect here.




To make this card:
(All SU supplies unless stated otherwise)
Card - Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Black Staz On, White Craft
Embellishments - Acetate sheet
Tools - Extra Large Oval Punch

Hope you like it.
