I thought today was going to be better than Monday...and then I clicked on Flickr. If you use Flickr, you are in for one rude surprise :-(
They updated it and then hid everything.
But the sun is shining and here's a cool card and I promise to stop whining.
I got the idea from this card over on Catered Crop's Pinterest page. The crafter used FABRIC to make one seriously cool apple!
I used a snippet of lovely paper instead.
And no sewing.
Heh.
Pretty simple (if you don't sew and don't use fabric!) I just die cut the butterfly, corrugated a piece of kraft paper and then layered everything.
I used a Picket Fence Distress Marker to make the faux stitches around the butterfly.
Supplies:
Paper: Bazzill (kraft and cream cardstock); Recollections (cream card blank); unknown snippet
Stamp: Endless Creations (sentiment)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain); Distress Marker (Picket Fence)
ETC: Fiskars (corrugating thing); Recollections (tiny pearls for butterfly body); lots of Glue Glider Pro
Over on Moorea Seal's blog, a list project is going on. Moorea gives us a prompt and we list as many things as we can think up. This week's is "List Your Summer Goals." One of my goals is to do a better job of blogging.
There.
I said it out loud.
Now I *HAVE* to do it!! ;-)
Thanks so much for dropping by!!

That's some bright, pretty paper behind that butterfly cutout! Love your "faux" stitching! Much easier than actual sewing!
Hi Cynthia
A brilliant card .. .. bright and beautiful.
You should skip along with it to the Snippet Playground that I play in .. .. they are a lovely bunch of folk there .. .. you will have great fun!!
Hope you have a good day today.

"then they hid everything"--you crack me up! love the card, cynthia!
OK... obsession with butterflies is perfectly reasonable and I should know because I definitely have one too. Also, I gotta go buy me a butterfly die so I can scraplift the heck out of you! (But I promise it won't hurt!)
