Good weather for spring cleaning though - I got lots of 'silly' stuff done that doesn't quite fit in to my normal cleaning routine. And it cleared my conscience for some crafting this afternoon so I didn't feel one bit guilty using my day off work to colour in and faff about hahaha.
This first card uses an oldie from Eat Cake Graphics. Hopefully we get more butterflies visiting our garden than last year, they were definitely few and far between.
I usually just colour my butterflies all the same shade, but Mr Google kindly supplied some pics of beautiful butterflies to inspire me. I've added a Gumiapan butterly die and little punched ones too. If I was making this card again I'd flip my base and have the darker shade for the frame.

- Tuesday Throwdown #431 - frame it
So for the rest of the afternoon I went YouTube-ing to look at polychromo tutorials and found a couple on skin and hair colouring. So this little LOTV girl was the result. I need lots more practice - she has a bit of a 5-o'clock shadow thing going on there ;)
I added in a little metal heart and red metallic embellishments. Clear gloss to their noses and glitter to the girl's hair baubles. Elizabeth Craft square dies and (I think) Gumiapan sentiment die.
