Red & Glitter

It's been a while since I posted anything but have created various cards recently which I'll add separately. Firstly took time out with my friend Sue this week to create something for the Indigoblu and the Mixed Media challenge.

 I've used various Indigoblu stamps, stencils, gesso and paste with orange and red distress inks. I've created layers and texture with the paste and ribbons before adding coloured cut out butterflies. To add the sparkle I've added stickles red glitter to the butterflies and background.
 
photos below show the various steps and close ups of my finished card.

 
 


thanks so much for visiting ~ hope you like my card
