Butterfly Tree

Here is the card that I have made for the Daring Cardmakers 'Fly Fly Butterfly' challenge. I am also entering this card into Creative Card Crew 'Birthday' challenge, Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 'Anything Goes' and Digital Tuesday 'Pink & White' challenge (for the base card & glitter paper colours & the digi-image tree).

I started by printing the tree digi image to A5 size and then trimming to slightly smaller than A5 so that I could mat & layer it. I used distress ink 'mowed lawn' & 'salty ocean' to ink the background & then used 3 different shades of brown promarkers (walnut, cocoa & burnt sienna I think) to colour the tree. I then used some small butterfly stickers that I got from Lakeland when they still did craft stuff- I've not used them for ages but I really love them. I got 3 of each same butterfly and folded them in half so that I could stick them together to create a 3d butterfly. I stuck them all over the tree and the surrounding area. I then mounted my tree image onto a mat of white glitter paper & then put that onto my 'dusky pink' base card.
