How To Make A Butterfly Embellishment - Tutorial

Well as I have had over 10,000 hits and have 45 followers - 

thank you - I thought I'd do another tutorial, and as I very 

much like butterflies, what better to do as an embellishment. 

This is just a general idea of how to put a butterfly

together – there are endless ways of dressing them

up.  Try using patterned paper and adding glitter,

How about using foil – I am sure you can all come

up with other great ideas for making butterflies.

Of course you can buy ready made ones, but how

much more fun is it to make them!

For some reason the font keeps changing - 
and I can't correct it.
 

1, Stamp two butterflies onto the cardstock/paper  you want to use.

       

 

   2. Cut out the 2 butterflies
   3. Emboss 1 butterfly 
   4. Sand emboss butterfly, if you are using core cardstock

.

 5. Cut and curl the end of two pieces of wire
     for butterfly antennae

6. Attach antennae to the back of the plain butterfly,

        then stick the two butterflies together. Go around

                  edge with darker ink.  Add embellishments.

  7. Finished butterfly

A Day For Daisies Challenge - Use A Die Cut

I just love the images from ADFD and thought it time
to take part in one of their challenges again.  Even if
my random number came through - I wouldn't know
which stamp to choose!

The theme for this challenge is to use a die cut, and
that is easy enough to do, being lucky enough to
have a Cuttlebug.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #62 - Fancy Folds

Time for another challenge at Pattie's Creations.  The theme this
time is "fancy folds."  My DT card is a gate fold one, as I have not
experimented with many other folds, although I did a nice
step card a while ago for one of my grandchildren.  Do
join in this challenge.

This card has been entered into the 'Anything Goes'
Challenge Room at Crafters Digital Art Center

Shira is 8 - Scrapbook Page

Had a nice weekend at a folk music festival held in
Zichron Yaacov - heard some great musicians there.
More music tonight as one of the Tel Aviv musicians
has a birthday, and he has invited many of his musical
friends along to join in the fun at our folk club, which
is held twice a month. 

As I have written before, when one of my grandchildren
has a birthday I like to make a Scrapbook page for
them - and a card, of course!  I don't need to tell you
that Shira likes fairies.

A "Hello" Card

Here is one of my latest cards, and as you may notice,
is a little different from my usual style.  I am trying to
make 'simple' cards apart from the more fancy
ones which I usually do - I like real fancy but haven't
reached that stage yet.  Also, what is fancy to me,
could mean something quite different to you.

** This embossing folder would not go through my Cuttlebug
     with the usual A,B, embossing folder,B sandwich, so
     I made my sandwich A, embossing folder, B + shams
     and it worked just fine.
