3 Flutterbys on a Card


This is what came from today's playtime...






It is a combination of three challenges...

CASE Study - Take inspiration from Aga's fab card.  (3 butterflies, green, lace, sentiment banner)




CAS-ual Fridays - Punchy (I punched out the butterflies, I left lots of white space and kept it clean and simple)




Cute Card Thursday - Touch of sparkle (I blinged up the butterflies! ...and I think butterflies are cute, does that count??!)





I inked the edges of the card and the sentiment banner.

The lace is from Crafty Ribbons (who, by the way, are running a Best of British fortnight with loads of giveaways)





I'm quite pleased with today.  A fun time crafting and then a snooze while the glue dried!  :)

Thanks for stopping by...

    That green lace is so beautiful, and it makes such contrasting texture to the glittery butterflies!

    I've never seen such a gorgeous bit of lace, and the way you used it as a backdrop to the glittered butterflies is brilliant! Thanks for joining us this week at CASE Study and CAS-ual Fridays!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
