My name is Andrea, and I live in
Kialla, Victoria, Australia, with my husband Chris, and our three sons. I have always loved papercrafts, and especially handmade greeting cards. I hope you are inspired to create today!

This is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday. Now I was basically finished this card the other day, but have been a little lost as to how to edit it etc on another computer. Well I have done my best, but the card is a different coluor IRL - more coral than red.
The stamped images are from the SU! set Touch of Nature, one that I just love. I used Palette Burnt Umber on smooth white cardstock and coloured the images with my Copics. I cut them all out and ran the Copic marker around the edge to cover any remaining white cardstock showing through, before I applied Glossy Accents which really makes the colour come to life.
The DSP for this card is Inque Boutiques Cabana, the colours in this pack are just so pretty.
The bottom scalloped edge was done with my Carl cutter and I added little dots of Gold Pearl Liquid Pearls.
The stemmed leaves I added as an after thought this morning, it just looked as though it was missing something! They look a little grey here but they are in fact a Copic that matches SU! River Rock and a touch of green. I didn't want a green that would take over.
The little sentiment is one from Papertrey Ink, and I initially stamped it in Cameo Coral and when that didn't look right I went over it using the Burnt Umber. Just love clear stamps!
The ribbon is a 10mm grosgrain called Cafe Latte.
Lastly is the butterfly, and using some fine wire I curled the ends and attached it underneath. I have some foam tape under the wings to keep them raised and 3mm wide X-Press it tape down the centre. A few Dew Drops in the corner and it was done!

Hi Andrea,
What a lovely card, I really like the way Glossy Accents make the colour of the flowers stand out. The Butterfly is beautifully coloured too - so pretty.
