Hi! This card was made for today's Inspiration Challenge: Frankie and Julie. I chose THIS BUCKLE as inspiration.
A Few weeks ago I made a card that used these two Spellbinders shapes together, and someone commented that it looked like a belt buckle! So, that comment inspired the use of these dies. I used this dp by 7 Gypsies and then used a VersaMark Pen to cover the edge and embossed it in Silver. Next, I added in the decorative brads.
The butterfly was colored in using Memento Markers, Pearlescent Watercolors and an aqua pen.
Finished card size: 5" square
Total time to complete: 28 minutes
