It's ages since I've posted (or done much commenting) as we've been away in the campervan for the last six weeks. We're now at home until September so I hope to crack on with some crafting over the next few weeks. This card is for my sister's birthday - although it's not her birthday until later in the year I can post now as she doesn't read my blog.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" cream hammer card blank
Hunkydory Sunflower Surprise Floral Deco-Large oddments
Creative Expressions 'From the Heart - Female Relations' and Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' dies
Snippets of brown textured card, Lili of the Valley 'Antebellum' paper and gold mirri card
I trimmed the Antebellum paper, layered it onto brown textured card and attached it to the card front. I had used part of the Hunkydory Deco-Large kit, but had enough layers of the sunflowers in my oddments drawer to make this image - the flowers were shaped slightly and layered with foam tape before being attached to the card. I die cut 'Sister' from a snippet of gold mirri card and used Artist-Tac to attach it to the top of the card. Two small butterflies were cut from gold mirri snippets and attached one on each side of the sunflower vase.
I am entering the following challenges:
