More Archways.

Picture heavy.
Back again with some more inspiration

for you to make simple Archways.

It is the second week of my

#37 Butterflies + A is for Archway.

I'd love to see you play along.

 All you need is your cardstock and a round glass

Position where you want your archways to be

and draw around the top half of the glass 

to make the curve.

Extend the side downs to make the window size you want.

At this point I would be saying grab your craft knife

but for those of you that cherish all your fingers and thumbs

we will use sissors instead!

Draw dotted lines from the corners to the middle 

and cut along these lines.

It is actually easier to trim some of these

points away so you can see the cutting  line clearer.

Finish trimming around the shape.

There you have it.One archway.

I found it a good idea to cut the arch first and then 

to use an embossing folder afterwards as this

this then hides any wonky cutting !

I used a brickwall stencil and embossing mat to make 

my archway below from cream cardstock.

I used a brown promarker just around the inside edge

of the arch for added neatness.

Also coloured random bricks to make it look more authentic.

Here is the card I made with it.

I used a pre coloured card topper

 by 'Littleclaire Sheet LCD09'

which has been in my stash for ages.

I thought it made a perfect back drop

for looking through the archway + it had butterflies on it!

I adhered to the back of the archway and then mounted onto

the front of a cream bard blank

Then I remembered I had bought this 

die cut set by 'Marianne Design CR 1210'

and one of the flowers and leaf matched perfectly.

I die cut several in matching  cardstock colours.

Edged very slightly with a toning promarker

and put the dot in the centre using a brown marker.

Adhered to front of card to finish.

The sentiment is made from die cuts  by 'Britannia dies'

By now I'm on a roll and just to show that 

other E.F's work too  I made another one.

Card topper is by' Littleclaire Sheet LCD03'

I picked out the spotted panel and used a matching 

pink ribbon for the bow.

I used a pink card blank  and the EF is by

Crafts-Too 'Spots'.

Sentiment was trimmed off the side of the topper.

Buttterfly from my stash.

Hope I have given you some ideas to use.
