I hope you had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the long weekend!
I just wanted to pop in and share a card I made the other evening for the fabulous Play Date colour challenge this week. I loved the colours as soon as I saw them and combined them with this funky Viva la Verve sketch to create this:
The butterfly was created with the new Butterfly die from the mini catalogue - I cut the larger butterfly from Real Red, then the smaller one with Regal Rose. I then used the Beautiful Wings embosslits die to cut a smaller butterfly from Regal Rose DSP for the top layer. I added a white button to a larger red one and tied together with linen thread for the centre of the butterfly. The ribbon is arranged in a bow, with a ribbon-rose tied around the middle. The sentiment is from Notably Ornate. The background strips were created based on this tutorial - such a fun idea! I put my sewing machine to work on this, now that my sister has shown me (once again!) how to change the thread, bobbin etc (I think I've finally got the hang of it now lol!).
Thanks for stopping by!
