Knot on Wood!

Here are some knots to give you  inspiration

for my #39 Butterflies + K is for Knots.

You still have a few days left to enter.

In this 1st card the knots are in the Wood Panel!

The stamp is by Clear  Impressions

and came free in a  Get Stamping Magazine.

I stamped twice to get a double panel

and coloured using a brown promarker .

Butterflies are 'Duplex' Decoupage toppers.

I matched the backing cards to the colours in them

and layered up.

The sentiment came in the same stamp set.

My 2nd card uses sheer ribon to creat a knot.

Card Base is a blank card aperture

made by Crafts House.

I used sheer ribbon cut in lengths and attached behind

the butterfly to fill. 

The ribbon has a lovely pink and blue shimmer to it  IRL.

I then backed with a sheet of plain blue card stock

which I used again to die cut the eyelet panel .

Spellbinders A2 Floral Ribbon Threader.

Threaded two small pieces of the ribbon through

from each end and made a knot in the centre.

I added  white stickles to the 2 embossed butterflies.

Last card  also uses a ready made card blank.

I have used a  Decoupage sheet by Tbz-Kaart .

You can't see very well but the two butterflies 

are cut out again and adhered to the main image

using sticky pads. 

The inset  pattern on the card had a slotted ribbon along

  the bottom which  Iv'e simply adhered a knotted  length

of green raffia over the top of.

(Actually it wasn't simple as it took me ages to space

and  get the knots in all the right places.!) 

Here is a close up of them.
