The Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is 'Butterfly + Y for Yarn' and the Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Monochrome', so I chose shades of purple for my card and included a butterfly and yarn (thread). I decided not to include a sentiment so it can be used for any occasion.

The scalloped circles were die cut with Spellbinder Nestabilities and lilac and purple thread wound round. Both circles are attached with foam tape to give dimension. The embossing folder is Embossalicious 'Floral Frenzy'. The butterfly was die cut with a Stampin' Up Embosslits 'Beautiful Wings' die, which cuts and embosses at the same time. I cut it out twice, in lilac and white, so I could double layer it, just attaching the top butterfly by the middle so the wings stand out. I then added tiny pearls for the body. The butterfly corner punch is by Dovecraft.
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

What a lovely card Liz. I like the idea of having two layers of the spirelli. I love the colour and the embossing folder is super. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteWhoo-Hoo YOU! I just saw that you've won on one of the blog hops (I'm scurrying round catching up comments, and it was at Pam's blog that I saw the announcement! Big Congrats!). I love the way you've done the Spirelli effect on the die (I hope I got that name right!). It's a wonderful way to interpret the yarn theme. Looks so pretty in the lavender & white, with the pretty embossing on the background, and the lavender pearls on the tiny white butterfly center. Great detail on the butterfly punched corners too. TFS & hugs.
ReplyDeleteI saw that I've won a Heartfelt Creations stamp earlier today when I read Pam's blog. Happy Dancing here! xx
DeleteLove the threaded scalloped circle - how fun! Great monochromatic look too. The background is awesome and your little butterfly ties in so nicely with it. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool card, Liz! I like this neat threading technique and the little butterfly in the centre! Gorgeous embossing folder too!
ReplyDeleteHow clever is this card? You are so very talented. Love the tiny butterflies in the corners too x
ReplyDeleteYou've outdone yourself with this gorgeous creation Liz! I LOVE the colors and especially that Spirelli technique!

This is a great card! I love the colour and the embossing is perfect showcasing your yarn and centre butterfly. Thank you for joining us at Bizzy Becs Anything Goes Challenge. xxx
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Liz, I love the colour scheme. I really like the way you wound the thread around the scalloped circle, what a great idea! It has a very "dream-catcher" look to it.
