Butterfly for a Baby~

I had a request for a card I've never made before; a 'Congratulations on your Pregnancy' card. without an image of a pregnant woman, and not knowing if humor was ok, I came up with this idea... well, that and a new stamp from last weeks shopping spree!

The butterfly image was stamped and embossed with gold on a piece of paper covered with Tattered Angels spray. I must say I have had very little success with this stuff, and am ready to pitch 5 bottles into the trash. I get nothing but blobs, and even blobs that spray a long distance, lol! Well, this little piece does look nice as a butterfly!

The image was then gold embossed on a piece of cream on cream patterned paper. Next layer down is a piece of Kromekote with Copic refills used as 'ink'. I was lucky to have some colors that looked similar enough to the sprayed colors. I edged with a gold pen, and layered on SU's Pink Pirouette textured paper. The little 'It's a Girl!' sentiment on a tag tied to the organdy bow is the only indication of what the card is for.

Inside is a leftover piece of the alcohol inked background, a leftover embossed butterfly, and a sentiment from SU (Full of Life). That and a wheensy piece of fuzz that snuck into the picture!

I used a SU flourish (Doodle This) and a Papertrey butterfly (With Sympathy) to finish off the envelope.

So, ok, I see the butterfly is crooked. I folded the wings up, which left just a bit of body to attach to the card with adhesive. guess I'll go realign it, and put some glue dots on to hold it better!!
