Flowers and a Butterfly


Here is my take on Less Is More's Yellow challenge




I love yellow!   I also love my Martha Stewart border punch.   And I love butterflies and flowers.   So I put them altogether and got this card.




The card blank is graded.  It's almost white on the punched edge whereas the opposite edge is a sunny, warm yellow.




I added a couple of Papermania Colour Capsule flowers and arrange some small silver sequins as the centre.  I love the the light bounces off the sequins.





The butterfly is also a silver sequin.  I adhered it with Pinflair glue gel so it is raised.





This photo highlights the contrast between the punched edge and the plain edge.





You know when you are part way through making one card and suddenly come up with the design for another?   Well, whilst making this I came up with four or five designs I want to make, so look out for some more yellow clean and simple cards!! 

I desperately want to scrapbook too...
and make another card with my crazy neon glitters...
too many ideas and not enough energy to make them all!!


Thanks for stopping by!

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.   ...
