I've been a bit stumped on what to do for Mrs. A's challenge this month. However while I was sorting out a snippets card I decided this would fit the challenge.
So here's a card I demonstrated at one of our village craft clubs a couple of months ago. I've not shown this card before.
I used a snippet of paper down the side. The sentiment is from a Stampman set inked in grey and a snippet of white card for the circle.
The wings of the butterfly are made from two 2" squares of washi paper and the body from is a paper bead which was made from a strip of the same paper. I made the antennae from craft wire and stuck a couple of beads on the end. The "Joy" is a Kidomo wooden stamp.
I would like to enter this into The Butterfly Challenge "O for over the edge" and also into
The Snippets Playground - Week 215

Hi Barb, what a stunning card, I love your butterfly, and your background is wonderful, Kate x
Fabulous japanese style for this card, the design is perfect and your origami butterfly looks just stunning and really gorgous!
This is just a marvelous looking origami butterfly. The colors glow, and love that you've tied in the border colors too. It's just perfect for the Butterfly challenge going on, and really a splendid dimensional look. Well done! TFS & have a great week.
this is so very pretty Barb - striking colours and design - lovely xx
That fancy butterfly is so beautiful and so creative. I always love butterflies and this couldn't be more perfect.
Gorgeous card! Love that awesome butterfly! The washi paper is beautiful! I've always had a fascination with washi paper - it's super expensive here so I don't have any but it's so beautiful.
Your butterfly is amazing! I've never seen anything quite so lovely!
Morning from a very windy north devon, keep safe. Love your butterfly.

This is so pretty, Barb. I love the Oriental look and delicate paper folding of the butterfly.
You have reminded me that it is soon Chinese New years. I had better get cracking on with a similar card as I have two Oriental neighbours at this new house. Thought I would make them up a card!

Have put your candy on my sidebar, as its WOYWW lots pass through and you might get some more traffic. Hugs Shaz in Oz.x
This card really caught my eye so I had to come and check it out. I've no luck with origami or fancy folds so this card really delights me.
I'm just having a catch up Barb and looking through your recent posts. I love this oriental butterfly and your 'Old Friends' card is fabulous, I love what you've done with the background. I'm Also really enjoying seeing you earlier cards on your Friday posts, it's great to revisit techniques that we often forget about and to see how we've progressed over time. Wishing you a lovely weekend x
