Another piecing.

It's week 2 of my Butterfly Challenge #19

the theme is  to piece your butterflies.

Here is a card I have made 

to give you some inspiration.

This time I have used a die cut butterfly.

This one is a Signature Die by Joanna Sheen

called 'Fairy Fly 1'

I chose this die as it is a very open cut filigree design.

I cut 4 layers out in fairly thick card stock

and matted together with pva glue.

I painted using  Imagination Crafts

Silkies in 'Denim Lace' 

which gives a lovely sheen to the butterfly.

I then die cut a further 3 butterflies using up 

some coordinating papers that were in my snippets pile

and adhered them to the back of the butterfly in the 

correct aperture! 

Doing it this way gives a nice 3D effect.

I used a scallop blank card and the die cut circles 

were already in my snippets pile

Sentiment is an Anita's peel off .

Background paper is called 'Up in the Air'

and was a freebie in Making cards July 2013

I adhered the circles using 3D pads for dimension.

Now of course the inevitable happened

Loads more of those pesky snippets!

But do you see what I see? 

 Well how about  a flower

some  Cutlass swords

or maye even more Reindeer antlers

or how about some Hotlips

and designer Shoes.

After all  a  girl can never have enough shoes.

Oh yes be afraid those snippets  are out there as we speak!!
