B for Beautiful Butterflies

Good morning,

We have a brand new theme over at the Alphabet Challenge today and the next letter is 'B' for

'BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES'.

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

This one is a home decor project and uses a natural wood box frame.

I cut an aperture in the piece of ivory card, then backed it with a piece of spotty design paper to make the background.

I die-cut lots of little butterflies from a selection of brown tone scraps and arranged them across the centre.

It was quite quick to do, but I think it looks really effective.

If Friends were Flowers ...

Happy Sunday everyone,

I hope you are all having a good weekend, despite the break in the weather - we had some torrential rain here last night! I'm off to York today to move my daughter out of her share house as she has now finished university and is moving back home. I shall have a full house once again!

It's my turn to post over at 'Sherri Baldy Art' today and this week I have made a home decor item - a wall hanging plaque using the gorgeous 'Positively Penelope' image which you can buy in Sherri's on-line store HERE.

I used lots of papers and embellishments from my stash, stamped out the wording before tearing and inking the edges and coloured 'Penelope' with my Promarkers before cutting her out and adding her to the project. All the flowers were stamped and hand cut before adding them to the design.

I would also like to enter this project into 

the current 'Besties Challenge' which is

'FLORAL FRENZY'

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Hugz, Jan xx
