We had a friend visiting us in the house this week. We really enjoyed sharing time together and, at the same time, I could tell that I was missing time of quiet and solitude. When I walked into the craft room today to create, I was struck by the surprising gift of peace and quiet this special room offered! I always think of the craft room as a place to explore the gift of creativity. Today I am grateful for the other gifts it brings :)
Today's card was inspired by Erte - this particular piece of art. I used an xacto blade to cut out the black card stock in the shape of a butterfly. (I used a butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die as a template for the outline and drew it on the back side of the card stock and then cut around it with the xacto knife). I stamped a whisper white piece of paper with the bella toile background stamp and colored the image with my aqua painter and various ink colors. The tiny butterflies on the greeting are from the Beautiful Wings embosslit. Hope you like it!
