Click here for more details on the contest.
So this week Regina from the
BBTB site asked us designers to use the
Cricut TearDrop cartridge...she chose the butterfly cut this time.....I love that butterfly!!
I used lots of
Prima flowers across the top with some old buttons I just found this weekend at an Antique shop.....yummy!!!
I also did a couple of new things I haven't tried before....while "
blurfing" the other day I got lots of ideas....one of them was...I took a long strip of satin ribbon and sewed a
gathering stitch down the middle and gathered it up for a ruffled look....then the next thing I did was to make my own paper....I got the idea from
Kim Hughes....I looked up the definition to butterfly and copied it over and over in Word....changed the font to something gorgeous, then printed it out on
cardstock, cut the butterfly out and
tah-
dah....I made my very own one of a kind butterfly!!!
And then I randomly stitched around the edges....I really love how that looks and have never tried it....but I'm sure glad I did!!! The delicious paper is Basic Grey's Boxer line (found it at
Hallmark Scrapbook) and the little stamps in the corner are by Kim Hughes (I buy them at
Cornish Heritage Farms)....I found those little pearls on the butterflies antenna at my
LSS...they are by Kaiser Scrapbook. THANKS for stopping by today....have a wonderful week!!!!
