Blue and white Muse

Afternoon all, thanks for stopping by.
I've been looking at this week's Muse card by Marion Vagg all week trying to come up with a suitable entry.
Problem was that my stock of dark blue card is limited and my choice of border stamps also. In the end I settled on this entry -



and this is Marion's card


As you can see I went with my diecuts, inlaying a white MB Tessatina border then adding some Marianne flourishes and a MB butterfly. I left off a sentiment just as Marion did but added a few blue sparkles on the body of the butterfly.


This is the same card from a different angle. The card was a pearlescent finish and a bit tricky to photograph but it does show the inlay better than the first.
I didn't go with the heart theme as I'm all Valentined out at the moment, I've got quite a collection of them now if anybody wants them!
Anyhow that's about it for the moment, see you back here soon for some more exciting news.

    The delicate white die cuts look lovely against the blue!

    Jules, now I'm waiting for the news.... but have to say this is so stunning! The inlaid die-cut does a beautiful job of mimicking stamping... gorgeous butterfly!

    I think that's really pretty mum. Reminds me of one of my old dancing costumes! Do you know the one I mean?

    This looks so elegant! I love the inlaid die cut border, a technique I've never tried myself, but I'm definitely going too!
