It's the first Saturday of the month, so time for the first challenge of 2019 over in the Crafty Calendar Challenge. The theme this month is 'Make It Flowery' and we are sponsored by SheepSki Designs.
I used one of the sponsors images, 'Tulip Border' and coloured it with Promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated and I used Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle' dies to make a frame, lining the dies up to include the sentiment. The background is embossed with Creative Expressions 'Dotted Matrix PinPoint' e/f and I added two strips of ribbon. The butterfly is punched with a tiny Fiskars butterfly punch and I added a few dots with a grey fineliner pen to show the flight of the butterfly.
The Crafty Calendar Challenge ends on the 28th January, so plenty of time to join in the challenge. Pop over to the blog to see all the beautiful creations the DT have made for inspiration.
Many thanks to SheepSki Designs for generously sponsoring the challenge this month.
