Butterfly Floating Panel card.

 Happy Saturday... To quote Jennifer McGuire... "Today is a good day"

The sun was shining and we are in level 3 so a bit more freedom.  Hubby and I went crusin' this afternoon.  Recently he bought himself a 1977 MG soft top convertible . A super cute little red cruiser and we took a drive with the hood down... and had a beer and coffee - takeaway and contactless pickup before heading over the Harbour Bridge and back...

Prior to leaving I had been watching a video tutorial from a New Zealand stamper - Her name is Natasha and she lives in my home town of Dunedin.  Her channel on You Tube is HERE  Today her video was called Floating Panel cards.  So after we got back I headed to the craft room and came up with this card


I decided to use this fantastic Altenew Dovetail Butterfly.  I stamped it towards the bottome of my card panel.  I did a bit of googling to find out what colours this butterfly is.  I then took my Woodless Watercolour Pencils to add the colour.  I then did the cutting and fussy cutting around the butterfly and chose to make my panel turquoise to match the blues in the butterfly.  I used a TWC stencil and Altenew Turquoise ink to add some interest to the panel.  I used a sentiment from the stamp set - love that it has favourite spelt the way we use it here in NZ - I finished with a few little silver gems.

Isn't it amazing how we appreciate the 'little' freedoms so much more...
Loving this dramatic card Dawn - you have really rocked the technique - I have been following Natasha for a while now and often use her techniques.
Stay safe
