Donna Salazar Designs: "Beautiful" Card by ~ Helena Johansson

Hi! I have a shabby card to share with you today, using papers from GCD Studios and Donna's Natural Beauty and Family Jeans collection. I just adore the wood paper - the perfect background for shabby projects!

I have used both the 6x6 paper pad from the Natural Beauty collection and a piece of the 12x12 paper "Family Cards B" from the Family Jeans collection. I have distressed the edges and also painted them with white gesso. I then cut pieces of the 6x6 paper Natural Beauty Cards A and glued a couple on top of each other, with small pieces of cheesecloth here and there. The butterflies are cut from the same paper and I just painted the edges with white gesso and attached a couple of bling stones in the middle.

Behind the butterflies I have corrugated swirls from Want2Scrap and Donna's, I painted them with some gesso and then put on some Fairydust glitter - nice and sparkly!
