Block Step Card.

My Internet connection had not improved.

In fact is is rapidly  disintegrating to morse code!

Further hampered by the fact that the help centre is in India.

I will say no more.

Have Been trying to post this since Wednesday.

Have finally managed to load the photos this morning 

But now lost my connection so battling with 

Predictive text on my iPad to finish. 

It is week two of my Butterfly Challenge.

I have chosen another  new card shape

Block Step Card

 to showcase the theme 

Butterlies  + C is for Corners.

I found lots of tutorials on YouTube for this card

all using the same method and instructions so 

have not used a specific one to make mine as they

are all equally  as good as each other. 

You only need a  piece of card  4.5 inches x 12 inches 

and another piece 4 .5 inches x 1 inch to make the base card

so is very economical  plus folds flat for sending.

Again the most time consuming part was to cut the squares

from  design papers to layer up with. ( 15 squares needed)

I wanted to have a spring look to the card so raided

my yellow snippets stash of papers and sorted out 

embellishments to compliment.

The embroidered roses

 ( front /back of card is made the same) 

have been hoarded for at least 35 yrs  and

The lace 25 yrs  so well past their sell by date!

I used my Sizzix  corner die Architectural Accent # 4

to make the corners from a scrap of same yellow card.

Sentiment is a magazine freebie and my butterflies are 

Die cut using Memory box 

Isabella/ Pippi.

 Card is totally free standing .

Another view showing the other side .

Butterflies were adhered with 3D pads 

to give definition.
