Faux Butterfly Tile Card

A really quick post from me today - I've got stacks of housework to do :(

This is the card I've made for my MIL for Mother's Day.


I made this faux tile card using my favourite all time butterfly stamp from EJ Crafts. The butterfly was stamped in Memento ink onto a 3" x 3" card and then coloured with Promarkers. The edges were inked with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. The square was then cut into inchies and covered with Glossy Accents. Once dry the inchies were mounted onto another square card. I covered a card blank form Craftwork Cards with some paper from Card Creations added a ribbon from my stash and finished the card off with some Prima E-line flowers topped with Card Candy.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Try it on Tuesdays - Give us an inch or three
I love Promarkers - Go dotty
Simon Says Stamp - Mother's Day/ Girly
Passion for Promarkers - In the garden
Creative Inspirations - Mother's Day

    Very pretty card and I love the minimal colour scheme. Also like the way you have made the inchies like mosaic tiles with glossy accents. Good luck in the challenges. x
