MIL's Lace

It's the 2nd week of my Butterfly challenge

#29 Butterflies + L is for Lace

Here is some more inspiration for you.

1st up is a Side Stepper card.

Very easy to cut this shape using a ready made card blank.

You just need a pencil, ruler, sissors and Scor-pal.

Decide where you want your split to be and mark a line 

just under  half the depth of the card using pencil and ruler.

This card was 4.25 so I made my line 2.00.

Cut with sissors then open card blank out flat 

and score each side of the split using Scor-pal.

Finally fold on score lines to make the folds as shown.

Simples!

I decorated the side of card using lace I had

salvaged from MIL's . I love this piece 

of lace so I use sparingly.

How and what I made the Butterflies 

from will be revealed in a future post.

Sentiment is by Hero Arts.

2nd  card 

Again uses up some of MIL's Lace.

This was a snippet of cream lace which 

I wrapped round a piece of card and matted

onto black card stock.

Card base was a ready made cream card

which I  then adhered the black card onto.

Butterfly die is by Cheery Lynn Designs DL 113AB

In order to attach to lace I drew round the butterfly 

and cut a cream backing which I first glued to

the butterfly and then using d/s tape onto the lace.

Sentiment shape is made using SU punch 

and gold sticker lettering.
