Paper Pieced Butterflies.

The new theme this fortnight

for my Butterfly Challenge

which you can find here

is to

Paper Piece your butterfly/s.

These are my inspirations for you.

Remember those pesky little snippets 

I had left over a few weeks back?

Well this is what I did with them.

I will not be beat!

I used strips of ds tape onto a piece of card

and stuck the shapes down in a sort of half 

Hexagon pattern until I had used them all up.

This is what I made with the result.

I just had enough room to die cut 

3 Butterfly shapes using 

Clearly Besotted 

Butterfly Wishes die collection.

As they are quite bright I used black card

to show  them off which in turn made me think

Oriental (as one does)!

so I cut some orange strips to make a frame around the edge. 

A simple peel off by Anita's 

completed the card.

On my second card

I have used a Penny Black creative die

Called Delicate Wings

To cut an aperture from a square of white card.

I then turned this over and adhered strips 

of  leftover design paper snippets in stripes

 to fill the open hole up .

Turned back over and matted to a sheet

of plain pink card stock 

which I then attached to a card blank. 

Another Anita's peel off 

And the card was done. 

Hope  you will  have time  to go and play.
