The Butterfly Challenge this fortnight is 'L for Lantern Card'. Mrs A has put all the instructions for making a lantern card HERE. My card incorporates all the elements, Lantern Card /Lawn Green/Lilac/Laser Lemon/Lattice work
+ a Butterfly
To include the lattice element, I used a Cheery Lynn 'French Lattice Small Frame', cut in white and layered over yellow. The green frame was made with two dies from Sue Wilson's 'Double Pierced Squares' set and the circles are Memory Box dies. The patterned paper is from an old Dovecraft paper pad. All the flowers were made with dies from the new Lisa Horton box magazine and I alternated the flowers with Poppystamps 'Elsa Butterfly' die cuts on the four folded strips. The finished card was layered on a lilac mat.
The card folds flat for posting. I decided not to put a sentiment on the card, as I don't know who will be receiving it. If a sentiment is needed, I'll either add it in the middle of the lattice, or perhaps put a sentiment on a small tag and attach it to the ribbon.
I'm hoping my little video works. 🤞

Great idea. Thankyou for coming and playing in the butterfly garden. It is going to look so pretty with all the lanterns hanging up. Hugs Mrs A.
