Hi, Christine here and I’m featuring one of my absolute favourite things today..butterflies!
I used the gorgeous papers and products from Webster’s Pages – Everyday Poetry collection. I created a card that is, to my mind, a little like a mini scrapbook layout – I kept adding more and more!
I prepared all my card elements beforehand, the patterned paper, rose ribbon and bakers twine. I used various Spellbinders™ die templates including Labels Four, Rose Creations, Carnation Creations, Jewel Fantasies and Scalloped Circles.
To adhere my card pieces I used the E-Z Runner®, this is so speedy and because the adhesive is applied in little strips it can be used on large or small items. Also it goes around curves and circles, great for the flowers.
For my central tag I wanted to add dimension so I went straight to my 3D Foam Squares, I keep a supply of these permanently on my craft desk as they are so easy to use and I can be guaranteed of their permanence. Crafty Power Tape is perfect for the final assembly of my card onto plain cream card stock.
I hope you like butterflies too!

I know that Christine said that was a card but I think that it would make a wonderful wall hanging. It is gorgeous.

Ooh yes I do love butterflies! And I agree with Pam above, in fact when I first saw it I thought it WAS a wall hanging. It’s certainly lovely enough to be!

I am such a ribbon and flower scrapper! They just seem to make the butterflies POP on this card! I really have to try the Crafty Power Tape, I bet it works well with the ribbon too!
