I decided to use a butterfly stamp that I've had for a while, and inadvertantly made it in Villa colours, the team the recipients both support. (They'll come to their senses one day!!)
The corners of the card were scored and folded back. The front of the card, the inside of the card and flaps were covered with paper from the HOTP Pretty Cardmakers Creative Pack.The butterfly image from Anita's was stamped using Versafine Crimson Red archival pigment ink, and watercoloured using the Whispers Brushstroke markers. The butterfly was cut out using a scalloped circle Nestabilities die. A second scalloped circle was cut from lavender card and then embossed using the Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder. These were attached to the front of the card and blue skeleton leaves were attached over the top.
The flaps were folded up and stuck down. A large red Papermania brad was attached through a large blue Papermania Imaginisce paper flower and attached over a length of pale blue organza ribbon.
The 'Forever' art, also from the HOTP Pretty Creative Pack, was attached under the paper flower.
I also decorated the inside of the card with co-ordinating paper from the HOTP Pretty Creative Pack and the 'Happy Anniversary' stamp from Stamps Away, using the Crimson Red ink.
