The Less is More Challenge this week is to include some wire, more of a challenge than I first thought!
After a few false starts thinking of a design to use wire, I decided to thread wire through three silver beads to make the butterfly's body and curl the ends round to make the antennae. The butterfly is a Memory Box 'Pippa Butterfly' die cut. For the border I used a NBUS Memory Box 'Spring Border' die. To add a little glitter, the die cuts were covered in a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush, before attaching to the card base.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Less Is More ~ Recipe - Some Wire
Butterfly Challenge ~ #49 Butterflies + G is for Glitter and/or Grape
The Craft Barn Two Weekly Challenge ~ CAS to include a flower and a sentiment
NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff) Challenge #6

Hi Liz,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful card, and such a lovely design.
The butterfly looks wonderful, and the wire and beads was a fab idea.
You could enter this into the MAWTT challenge as it fits the bill.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Thanks, Jenny, I've linked it up. xx
DeleteBeautiful card - the wire is perfect for the butterfly antennae. I must remember that for next time I accidentally chop them of when cutting a butterfly out!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Liz, I very often use wire for the butterflies antennae. They are to fiddly to try and cut out.

Sorry for the late comment, Liz! I love how your wire antennae are echoed in the design of the die cut border at the base. Great combo.
