If you enjoy visits to The Snippets Playground, have you seen that Di has a brand new challenge blog HERE? I'll be sharing this card over in the challenge as I've used lots of snippets today.
I followed a link on Claire's 'String Bows' blog for instructions to make an origami butterfly bookmark. You can find the video HERE. I decided to turn the bookmark into a card. The bookmark used my first snippet, a 7cm x 11cm piece of red paper.
The circle mats are a combination of Memory Box and Sue Wilson die cuts. (The black and white mats were made with snippets.) The embossed background was a snippet, already embossed, which I think was done with an A4 Xcut butterfly embossing folder.
I attached a fancy paperclip to the mat so I could make the butterfly removable. I added small pearls to the drawn antennae and three pearls in the corner of the card.
The bookmark slides over the corner of the page.
I am joining in the following challenges:

As Sarn says - you really are SO clever Liz! Lovely work - as always, I do love how you think 'outside the box' as we used to say in brainstorming meetings when I was working - minus the garden and wine of course!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2022!
Hugs
