Beautiful butterfly

Hey friends - back with another Craft Roulette card, this time with a butterfly:


Supplies: Paper - Pink & Main patterned;
Recollections cardstock; TH Kraft Metallic
Dies - Spellbinders Playful Stitched Panels;
Scrapbook.com Heirloom Butterflies
Other - printed sentiment (might be SSS);
Trinity Stamps enamel dot

I watched Episode #341 on Friday night and submitted my card then; just hadn't had time to blog it until now. Host Mary Gunn had Libby Hickson (‪@libbyhicksoncreates‬) as her guest, making her 3rd appearance on the regular show. Libby was also a guest on World Card Making Day 2024. I've known Libby for many years from when she worked at Hero Arts; she's now with Pink and Main who happen to be the sponsor for our October Die Cut Diva Challenge! Please check it out if you have a shaped card!!

As usual, the crafty wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters:



  • Project - Card with 2 Folds: I made a simple gatefold. 
  • Colors - Planets: Blue for Earth, plus many other colors in the background fit other planets. 
  • Element - Beautiful: Butterflies are beautiful to me. 
  • Random - Wonky: I used a wonky rectangle. 

I was in the mood for a quick card so grabbed a piece of leftover marbled paper from the Pink & Main Birthday Bash event earlier this year. Scored and folded into a gatefold card. I already had the butterfly in the stash. Die cut a wonky label and adhered to the left side of the gate. Adhered the butterfly & a sentiment strip - done! Since the paper is so busy, I left off any other embellishments.

Here's a view from the top:


Later I added a sentiment panel to the inside. This card is going to a Craft Roulette friend who is experiencing health issues. We have a little Caring Card Crew that sends cards when we're aware of a need. This is in addition to the birthday exchange so I stay busy!!

That's it for today, friends. Thanks for the visit and I'll be back on the 21st with my regular Diva post, if not sooner. Happy crafting!!

Wow, it looks great how you’ve combined everything.

That’s very striking patterned paper Linda, I think you were right to let it do the work for you and keep your embellishments for next time! Perfect for an uplifting card and the gatefold makes it that bit different.
