A Special Place

Today I wanted to share with you a little project that is very special to me as it includes an element that was the very first thing I learnt to make at my very first Stampin up craft class! The flower made from punched butterflies! It was also the first thing I demonstrated when I ventured out doing my own classes.....

The colour combo I used here was perfect plum and rich razzleberry.

The first card was created by stamping the large image from the Paisley Petals stamp set, in versa mark ink onto the rich razzleberry card. I am not sure if the picture really pics this up but it gives a lovely watermark effect. I then used a small piece of coordinating designer paper, cream velvet ribbon and a few pearls.

The second card I have stamp onto some perfect plum card to create my own backing paper, again using the paislet petals stamp set and versa mark ink. A small piece of paisley prints designer paper I think really makes this card pop. I stamped an image onto white card using perfect plum ink and daubed the edges.

Now onto my much beloved flower! This was created using 4 punched butterflies. Each one was sprayed with water and scrunched up. They were the secured with a gem brad a very effective yet simple technique I love it.

Well I am off to pack the car up now as I have a card class this aft in Selby with 7 lovely ladies. Anyone interested in coming along and joining us please get in touch.

Hoping to get away camping this weekend but looking at the weather is isnt looking too likely AGAIN, not managed to make it away once yet this year not a happy camping bunny....

Lots of Love
