Blue Butterfly Card

Hi all,

This is my very first foray into 8 x 8 cards.  I've been watching Create and Craft on my PC and it seems that everyone in Europe makes cards that are 7 x 7 o 8 x 8.  So, I wanted to give it a whirl.  I wasn't sure that I would have enough stuff and ideas to fill up such a large card.

Items Used:

• Hunkydory Little Book of Butterflies & map paper
• Ecstasy Crafts Ticket Punch and plastic ticket domes
• tiny words - Tim Holtz
• Blue wrinkle ribbon - May Arts
• black card for mats
• white card for card base

Although this looks like I matted and layered it, its all one picture.

A last look.

I hope that I did ok!  Did you like it?

Thanks for any comments, I always appreciate them.

Sophisticated...a card

Hi everyone,

Items used:

• Downton Abbey Line from Crafters Companion (patterned paper, frame, bow and picture)
• copper adorable scorable from Hunkydory
• embossing folder (Crafters Companion - a Taste of India line)
• Ribbon - May Arts
• Pearls

I received an email from May Arts inviting me to ask for a sampler, so I did. This is one of the ribbons they sent me.  I'm already a fan of May Arts - I love their ribbons.  This is actually one ribbon with the velvet brown already fused to the lace.

Tis is a closer look at the frame.  Its mde of wood and in this case is covered with paper on one side.

 Thanks for stopping by,
Lis
