Gilded butterfly


Hi everyone, I finally got some time to make a few cards today!

The theme at Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge is gilding.
I diecut this butterfly from a scrap of black card and rubbed metallic gold paint on the outer edges.
I rubbed the same paint on the vellum base. 


At Addicted to Stamps & More the theme is CAS.
GRAB OUR BADGE!

Using up snippets means I can also visit the girls at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
