Hi again, it's me Grandma Bonnie sharing my latest cards using the 3 butterflies digital images from the SNB store. There is a set of 3 butterflies and one sentiment. I've chosen to use just 2 of the 3 butterflies. Click here to find them.
What i did:
First, enlarged the butterflies and printed them off by putting them as far down on one sheet of paper as i could. The reason for that is i wanted to make a card and i needed to fold the paper in half. I then cut out the butterfly, making a folded card. I used the same image again and printed it off. I colored both images, i didn't put as much shading on the card base because i am going to attach another butterfly on top to make it 3-d. I gathered up some tulle and placed it between the card base and the top butterfly. I used my machine and stitched through the top card base, tulle and the top butterfly. I added some stickles to the small circles on the butterfly. I used pipe cleaners for the butterfly body. I curled one antenna and measured to the bottom of the body and wrapped the pipe cleaner around until i got to the top of the head, allow some extra pipe cleaner for the other antenna and cut off. I sewed a button on for the head. Next, i used hot glue to attach the pipe cleaner body.

Very Pretty!! Great idea. Now, where is the fold? I can't tell from looking at the picture. Love your Teal and Yellow butterfly. And thanks for sharing your project with us at the Stampsmith Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at the Magical Monday Challenges. Unfortunately, you didn't use a "magical" character on your card so it will not qualify for the prize. We will have a new challenge tomorrow if you would like to try again.
