although the sun is shining on the snow right now, it's a bit of a gray day in this household today. my husband just got laid off - they actually laid off the whole division so many people are in the same boat. i guess the recession is still going strong and i pray for better news for all the families that are affected by this decision. i choose to remain positive and am confident that it's a sign of something better to come for him.
to counterbalance that, i want to post something shiny! it is my quirky way of saying "pooey" on the bad mojo :-)
here's another card that i made a while back but never got around to posting it. it is made with the same Glitter Ritz i've been using in my last 2 posts and video but using a different technique.
there are many layers to the butterfly. the shape was die-cut through a layer of cardstock and sookwang tape. then we cut around the body on both side so that we could offset the 2 wings "masks" and apply the brown glitter on both ends. then, we put the wings back into place and uncovered the body to add some brown glitter as well. the next step was to cascade different shades of blue on the wings. uncovering one wing at a time, we laid out some die-cut flourishes and added the 3 different colors of blue glitter. we repeated on the other side. and to finish it off, we removed the flourishes masks and added green. of course, the burnishing process had to be done on all the layers as they were laid down.
it was a "fussy" process but the effect is stunning.
have a great day! CeeCee
