Flyin beauties...

Here's a few altered plaque's that I made as gifts. My girlfriend just made up a few with Christmas themes that turned out beautifully. I'm a butterfly addict so here's what I came up with when I found these little deco cuties at the store on clearance and saw much potential.





I definitely did a bit of glittering on these babies. The butterly is from an SU! set (Wonderful Wings) that I had wanted for a long time. I finally picked it up at an SCS gathering in Collinsville, IL. WOO HOO

I used several layers of patterned paper. The final layer is an awesome cream shimmer cardstock that I love to use with the Cuttlebug (as you can see). For the butterflies...I embossed them with glitter ep, cut them out, folded them a bit to give the fluttery effect. Oh yes and there's some poppin action goin on underneath those fluttering beauties.

Let me know what you think of these. I am getting more and more into altered art and I have to say these were a blast to beautify.
