...Life is like a Butterfly...

I have recently learnt a fantastic technique using crepe paper to make the most devine butterflies!!!  The wonderful Paper Angel - Liz Collett has a great video tutorial called Crepe Paper Flowers and Butterflies, click here for the You Tube link.  

I have changed it little by using tissue as well - crepe paper does not take stamped images very well, but tissue paper does.  I also sprayed the crepe paper and tissue with silver Glimmer Mist (silver Pearl Ex mixed with water in a fine mist spray bottle).

Happy Anniversary

This beautiful card was designed for my partner's grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary coming up on 2nd April 2013.  The beautiful Swedish paper Pion was the inspiration for the elegant, yesteryear/vintage look.

...Don't you just love a surprise?  I do :)  'Surprise' was the inspiration for this weeks Monday Card Class - 'Cards with a surprise'.

Open the card - Ta-dah!....

....A lovely bunch of flowers :)

I learnt how to make the inside of this card from a top 25 Demonstrator and she is also the lovely leading lady of Paper Angels - Liz Collett.  I can't remember who she learnt the technique from.  It is definitely the type of card that blows you away when you open it, just wonderful! And, the Monday Card Class ladies thought so too.

...The Paper Peacock Friday Challenge 

I love a surprise but I really love a challenge...Linda challenged us (loyal Friday cropper's) to make a card, it could be for any occasion, the cards will be judged by her husband Martin - the winning card will win a Kaisercraft Paper Pack.  I designed a card that would appeal to Martin (hopefully - fingers crossed), had a lot of fun creating this card, if it's not chosen - it's still a winner in my eyes :)
