Lots of little pics to share for this post. I finally used one of my mom's crocheted butterflies, and I HAVE to say, they are just gorgeous. I don't know how she does it, all I can crochet is a cable, this stuff is far too complicated.
This card is for an 11 year old girl who loves butterflies. Isn't that cool!
I coloured the
Elzybells image with my Lyra pencils, yeah I used my Lyra's for a change. I think they have been feeling very
neglected. Blended it with
Sansador and added a little grass here and there. I need to go through
Paula's grass tutorial in order to learn the technique properly. When I clicked on her link I got only a portion of the post :-(
The paper I used was a free download from
Summertime Designs. I can't believe it's free, there are some beautiful designs you can down load.
The image was cut out with my BRAND new
Nesties template. Slowly but surely I get them all. It's a bit expensive ordering everything from overseas, so I try to get new stuff once a month. Although, believe it or not, it is cheaper for me to order from Cut @ Home, than to order from my local supplier. I don't know why.
Here's a close up of the butterfly. I got the link for the pattern from
Bev's blog. If any of you can crochet!!! I had a bit of glitter to the butterfly, cut it's not too clear on the photo. It really brought her to life.
Now I'm out of this FREEZING study. My hands feel like they are going to fall off, they are so cold. I really must put a premanent heater in this room, or I won't be blogging much.
Have a great Sunday, and chat to you all soon.
