Hi Friends,
I've been playing with some Tim Holtz dies lately and this is what I came up with. I love the new Butterfly Duo with Texture Fades. If you are wondering what those tiny wings are in the center, well...it's one of the butterflies from the set. I messed up...(actually tore the wing apart) and I had to cover it up. So I decided to add a center "winglet" to do the job.
For the background, I used one of the Mixed Media Thinlits. I distressed the edges of the background panel and stained it with Walnut Stain and a blending tool.
I also used some of Tim Holtz older stamps to give a grundgy look to the card.
Some Ideaology Wordbands and Pen Nibs for the embellishments and a piece of jute, seam binding and twine to finish the card.
I hope you have a wonderful week and I hope to see you again soon!
This is fabulous Mae and beautifully textured. Love the grunge effect and the butterfly is gorgeous.

This is such a beautiful card! The butterfly looks like it is made from leather and I love the layered look you gave it and also the layered background. Thanks so much for joining in with our Spring Blooms challenge at Inspiration Journal. Anne x
