LIm week 51 Theme. Cut it Out

Chrissie and Mandi of LIM fame would like us to make a card with an aperture...not my favourite thing! ..but had a go and here's mine.

 I 've had a little play in photoshop to try and show up the cream of the card. The original photo is at the bottom of the post.

I stamped the butterflies from TH Papillon onto the base card with DI  Vintage Photo, coloured with Faber Castell  crayons then cut out the wings.  I then cut out an aperture in the top card just slightly smaller than the image . The aperture and the card are edged with Promarker,Tan. the Promarker has soaked into the card a bit and looks smudgy in places but i quite like it.

Here you can see the aperture with the wings of the butterflies and moths lifted out.

I would have preferred to stamp directly onto the card with the greeting but I'd already stuck  down the top card to the base! with sticky pads to raise it up a bit... It would've been an uneven servise to achieve a good result..perhaps I aught to have left off the greeting :)

This is the untidy inside ... will cover it with some card to hide it! lol

the light is not good for photography at the mo so not the best photographs. the card is actually a soft cream but it's showing more like white

Enjoy your day
take care
