Here is a zig zag card I made. I wanted to try something a little different as I am always doing square cards (which I love doing of course). I found the instructions for this card in an old magazine. It was Quick Cards Made Easy. Took me a while to do though lol.....
It is a nice effect and I have given this a bit of a shabby chic feel. The papers are a combination of Prima and Paislee 12 x 12"s. The sentiment is a freebie that came in a set from a magazine and I used my circle and scallop circle dies to frame it. The butterflies are a Papermania Urban stamp. I have coloured the butterflies with pro-markers and then I stamped some more butterflies onto acetate and attached to the top of the coloured butterflies. I don't know if you can make out the acetate in the picture.
The pearls, lace and flowers are from my stash.
