We are in the midst of a nasty snowstorm
with strong winds and bitter cold weather. Have I mentioned I hate winter…..probably
only about a dozen times! I saw this on the Internet and I just have to share
with you…..of course if you don’t live in the Northern Hemisphere you won’t get
it but it is funny.....exactly how long January feels in Canada.
Seeing as we are knee deep in snow I
decided to post a butterfly card…..I love butterflies as much as I hate winter!
I
have an 8x8 double-sided paper pack with these lovely pink, purple, and green designs
and it just has to be used up. So the background is two pieces taped together
at the back with a silver fancy peel-off down the seam. Then I die cut a couple
more pieces with a rectangle die; added them on an angle; and then added silver
peel-off lines around the edges. See those little bits of silver peel-offs on
the pink plaid piece? They don’t go all the way down the side where the edge is
hidden by the green piece. That’s why I save all the small bits of silver lines.They
always come in handy eventually…..and yes, I am that frugal! The butterfly was
die cut using a Memory Box die out of a piece of paper from the same set and
mounted on a piece of black….from the matching Memory Box butterfly. Then the
black oval was punched; a silver peel-off sentiment added and then it was glued
to the card. Then everything was glued to the mauve card base.
That’s all for a snowy, cold Monday,
January 28, 2019.
Cheers
Violet
