I am loving me some Butterflies right now... Well, I love real butterflies all the time but the ones that I am referring to are crafting butterflies...
Lots of butterflies and flowers...
How 'bout the two gorgeous cards above?? I used a faux watercolor technique. I just simply took a piece of white cardstock (big enough to cover the butterfly die cut), some of my favorite ink colors, a few sponges and blended the inks randomly all over the white cardstock piece. I then glued the inked piece to the back of my mat, making sure to cover the opening completely. Then it was just a matter of securing the butterfly die cut back into the hole. They are both adhered a little differently. The top one is glued all the way down. I then added some rhinestones for the body. You can't really tell it from the picture but the bottom card has TWO die cut butterflies on the card. There is a yellow one that is glued all the way down and then the top black butterfly is only attached at the center body. The rest of it flies freely (grins)... I added a button and some baker's twine to the body of this butterfly.
On to some more fun... Here are the three more projects that I completed...
Well, I hope you enjoyed the projects that I shared with you. I know I sure enjoyed doing them! It's a great day when you can spend it doing something that makes you smile...
Now go have a wonderful crafty day!
