Hi Friends and Happy Wednesday! It's the 1st Wednesday of the month (and new year) and that signals a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. Our sponsors this are LeAnn's World and Fred, She Said. The Challenge theme is Always Anything Goes and the Optional Twist is "Starry Night".
For my team project, I've used the Swallowtail Butterfly image from Fred, She Said. I've turned it into a New Year's Card.
I've printed the image and sentiment using a Laser printer and hot foiled both with toner reactive blue foil. This photo picks up the sign beautifully.
I've colored the image using alcohol markers and to add more shine, I've back the focal panel with silver mirror card and added blue gems. Otherwise I tried to keep the design clean.
Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenge and until next time, Happy Crafting!

So pretty, the blue with the oranges looks so nice. I had to check out how you did the foiling. I still have not given in to the temptation, getting hard to resist though!
