Just Magnolia/ charisma cards dt call

Hope everybody is having a relaxing weekend, i relaxed so well yesterday i almost couldnt come out the coma the see to my kids last night.  As you can see i did mange to get a burst of energy from somewhere and headed into the studio for some crafting.  I saw something similar to this a while back and thought i had booked marked it, but its gone as to where i got the inspiration from.

I have used my NEW Ladybug Tilda colored with copics, matted on a nestie, set behind a fancy pants printed acetate.  I tried following the sketch on Just Magnolia with grat difficulty because i already had it in mind to use this acetate, so i flipped the sketch and put some of my layers behind the acetate.  I have used a SU punch for the scallopes on the side of my card with lots of black and red pearls.  Because i wanted to enter this into the  Charisma cards challenge and the criteria is to use butterlies, i chopped some butterlfies out with my cuttlebug die in acetate, used some staz on on the acetate wings and then added glitter to the outside of the wings of my acetate butterlies so you can see them and layered them ALL OVER the card front.  Oh i hope y'all like this as much as i enjoyed making it and hope it inspires you.

Please leave a comment......... enjoy whats left of the weekend.........
