Butterfly Challenge

This is a card I've made for Sarah's Butterfly or Tulip Challenge over on the CB forum. It's a great challenge with a totally fab prize!!

Here is my entry- it’s totally different to what I started making last night (which incidently has been cut up, re-fashioned a number of times and eventually put in the scraps tray!!)

This I am much happier with! I have taken inspiration from the little butterfly shape that came free with LMC21 and it is stuck on the right handside on top of pink ribbon. The main butterfly is made of two colours of felt (pink and maroon), with a glittery stick on body and gold wire antenna. I didn’t have any tulips, but have added some lovely flowers to jazz it up and tie in with the butterfly die that provided the inspiration in the first place. I’ve also got some pink Crafts Beautiful paper on there and some pink and maroon candy dots.

Thanks for looking and good luck everyone!

New cards and super exciting news...

Here are some of this week's makes! I've had a bit more time on my hands in the evening this week, because my S4-6 pupils are on prelim leave so i've been getting more done in school. These are mostly cards made from the LMC21 kit, but there is also a quick and simple card made with little roses in here. One of the LMC kit cards, includes two stamped hearts from papercraft inspirations magazine.

Also coloured in a few stamped images tonight, ready to be made into cards. My cousin was due to give birth yesterday, but is now overdue. I've coloured a tilda with baby image, with the exception of the colour of the baby's clothes. I havent made the card it'll go on yet either though, as I don't know colour to go with! Watch this space for the news and results!

As for the SUPER EXCITING NEWS! I've just found out that I won Debby's amazing blog candy!! I'm OVER THE MOON!!

Valentine's card and entry for Valentine's craft challenge on CB forum

This is my entry for the Valentine's craft challenge over on the CB forum- which was to include buttons, beads, ribbon, patterned paper and stamped images! It is also very red and pink + based around a heart shape.

I used heart shaped cookie cutters to draw then cut out the middle aperture bit, then to cut a patterned paper heart shape for the cut out section. I then used double sided sticky paper slightly smaller than that shape and sprinkled dark red seed beads on top (my initials FCC are in the middle of the heart with little diamante beads) as you can see I have done the same on the outside of the card around the heart cut out. I’ve then coloured in a little magnolia stamp of Tilda and Edwin for each side, stuck on top of pink polka dot ribbon. To finish off a little ribbon flower attached with a pearl button.

I might tinker a bit with it between now and 4th Feb- thinking that some glitter is required on the Tilda and Edwin. Obv I also need a message and I think I'm going to make a word cloud on wordle!
