I made this card yesterday for the challenge on Mrs. A's
Butterfly Challenge blog where the challenge this time is S for Stamping/Sapphire.
I was given some of these triangular cards by a friend at our craft club on Monday so decided to use one for this challenge.
I covered the front of the card with some sparkly blue card which unfortunately was very difficult to photograph. Next I cut a scrap of white card to fit on top, embossed with a folder in my Cuttlebug then rubbed lightly over the raised areas with Tea Dye distress ink.
I delved through my box of snippets of ribbon and found this piece of blue and purple variegated thread which I added to the bottom then stuck on the three blue hearts which are one of the first things I ever bought when I started paper crafting.
The two butterflies are from a sheet of stickers of butterflies in various colours. They hve also been around for a very long time and I'm gradually managing to use them up.
The two I chose were stuck to white card, bent into shape and attached to my card. I think this fits the remit for The Butterfly Challenge #48

This is beautiful Barb, love the sparkly blue card, must be so lovely IRL : )
What a gorgeous card! I have some of those triangles in my stash and didn't know what to do with them. Now I know. I recognize those butterflies. I have them too. They are old but very beautiful I think.
I refer to this master chart often. If you can’t find an ingredient listed below, go there!
Thanks for your visit,
Have a good week,

Those butterflies are colored beautifully and I'm intrigued with the shaped card you created!

So unusual and stunning card, LOVE it! I can see the sparkly blue on the background, but it must be very shining in person!
The embossed panel coloured with the tea dye ink is very elegant and the thread with the delightful hearts is a catch-eye!
This is absolutely STUNNING! I adore the fun shape--and the butterflies are AMAZING! Thank you for joining us at House of Cards! HUGS! :) Mynn xx
This is an usual shape for a card but suits the butterflies perfectly. I made a few triangle Christmas tree cards a few years ago, which worked well. The colours on the butterflies so pretty.
It is good to see you over at the Butterfly Challenge.
Lovely card Barb, great shape and very pretty butterflies. Thanks for the visit to mine and wishing you a lovely crafty week, Angela x
great shaped catd barb and i really love those butterflies. stunning xx
Great design! I like the unusual shape and the embossed butterflies and the stickers as well. It all works so well together and blue is my favourite colour...
Hugs Lisa
Gorgeous triangular card--the colors are so pretty and those butterflies so exquisite. The fiber and jewels are the perfect match for everything. And yes, the geiger counter on my table is just for decoration (although it is a real one from the cold war days).
That is such a cool concept. A triangle card. How wonderful. and so Beautiful too.
Gorgeous card - lovely and summery!
