Lilac butterflies card
It's week 73 over at 'Less is More' and this time it's a recipe, which is ................. 'Paper Piecing'I read that as 'paper piercing' at first lol, must look more clearly next time ! Luckily I thought of an idea quite quickly this time, I do hope my mojo has reappeared. I printed a DSB digi butterfly I havehad for a while now.After chalking that image witha nice lilac shade I stuck that to the card base.Then I printed another butterfly onto a sheet of card.I had already printed the card with PP 'Washed Damask' lilac pattern. It's very pale the pattern so not sure it showsup that well here.Also I glamour dusted it which hasn't helped you see it, I do like my glitter though. I used mycircle nesties to cut an aperture in another piece of card.I then matted and 3d'd that and 3d'd the paper pieced butterfly just inside. The stamped sentiment is a 'Jane's script' one. I almost left the first butterfly plain and I think it may have been a better idea now I look again. Oh well I will remember that for next time. I added a couple of clear gems to complete the card.I spent a good few hours today creating a few new watermarks for myself in PSP. Much tearing of hair too I fear !!!ps. See my previous post if you want to see pics of my daughter climbing Ben Nevis for her 40th birthday !Also new pics of our lovely grandsons above right too, aren't they so cute..........well I suppose I am a tad biased lol.Charlie has a little bee toy strapped to his wrist which he loves.
