This week at CD Sunday Challenges Wendy has chosen Butterflies for our challenge. Most people love butterflies, well except for my husband, nice to look at but from a distance. We once went to a butterfly farm, a new experience for us both, as soon as we walked into the area, the butterflies were flying around so freely, beautiful specimens and my hubby was off like a rocket exiting through the entrance. I had to go all the way through on my own to get to the other end to find out what was wrong, he had discovered he has a phobia of wings fluttering around his head. Sorry, I digress, back to business. Butterflies are popular with crafter's so we should be having a busy week ahead, lots of CDs out there with butterflies. I decided to use my new Tangletastic CD of Zentangles from Sarah Hallum of Peerless Designs. If you click on the picture to see it enlarged you will see more closely the wonderful doodle art she has created on the butterflies. I made an easel card, with a slight difference. I adhered the butterfly onto a piece of black card but cut around the upper part of the butterfly to give the appearance of it being in mid air. The other two butterflies are from the background paper, adhered onto card. The greeting was embossed with white extra fine embossing powder, the greeting stamp is from Hobby Art. Have fun with your challenge this week everyone.
WOW Caz, this is stunning. I haven't seen this CD from Peerless Designs and not tried Zentangling. Looks like a CD to add to my wish list.

Lovely card and what a clever way of 'floating' the butterfly. Black and white always looks good, Not thought of it for butterflies......it looks great.

Beautiful Caz, i love to doodle but mine never look anything like this, pity your husband has this phobia with so many wings out there.

Such a beautiful card Caz! I've just realised that my son has made a card for his Auntie's birthday with butterflies on...and she hates butterflies fluttering around her too!! Ooops!
