#gelypostcardplay- number 18. More butterflies

Back again with another Postcard for Ceri the crafter's July challenge, #gelypostcardplay! This is number 18...is was no: 17 but I didn't like it... so I used a rose with butterflies instead. Seeing I was running late I decided to revamp and use it anyway. Same as number 17 with the masterboard background. (See! If I'd never found Ceri, I would've never ever made a masterboard!)  I edged it in gold embossing power and zapped with my heat gun. 

Then fussy-cut a flower wreath from a magazine... but that's when I decided the flowers were too small, so I just cut them up and arranged them willy-nilly on the card, then added the butterfly stamps, making sure you could still see  those eggs... But by that time, I'd given up the will to live and started what ended up being the new/real no:17.

 Later. Much later. I was thinking it needed a bird. In steps Tim Holtz's bird cage die and on goes one blackbird. I edged the card again with ink and a Promarker. Then made another stamp, by cutting out a small rectangle piece of creamy-pink geli rolled tissue and fixied that to a real stamp, so I still had the white bits. In my pile of mess craft stash, was a silver number sheet so added the number 18...plus a few inky postage rings and wiggley lines. Number 18 done! Phew! 

So, number 18, the ex number 17, didn't turn out too bad in the end! That's it from me! Go and have a look at some of the other fabulous makes at #gelypostcardplay  or just google it! Thank you for stopping by!
