Fly Away.

It's week 2 of my Butterfly challenge


Here is some more inspiration for you.

This is as CAS as it gets!

I adhered two small strips of washi tape onto a snippet of card
and then cut the banner shape to fit a blank card base.
Used 2 SU butterfly punches  to cut the apertures 
and then the cut outs were raised up on 3D pads 
and adhered above  the strip.
A few  pearls  for the trail and card is complete.
Simples!!!!
Entering into the following challenges:
Craft Your Passion #287 Anything goes.
Clear It Out Challenges # White +one colour/stashof your choice (washi tape/pearls)
Creative Fingers #97 Anything goes.
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #202 Use your snippets (white card for washi tape)
2 Creative Chicks # Anything goes.
Crafting By Designs #165 Anything goes.
Creative Ladybirds Creations #9 Anything goes.

My second card is the exact opposite!!
I threw everything at it for a Shabby chic /vintage look.

Base paper is by Prima from their 'Botanical Collection.'
Distressed round the edges with my handy TH tool
The pink rose paper on top is by Raspberry Road.
Both these papers were freebies from magazines. 
I adhered the pink paper to snippets of white card
and then distressed around the edges for a more raised look.
The butterfly is by Sil  'Papillons Loisirs Creatifs'
Ric rac braid/ribbon/lace/charm/pearls and embellishment
all from my stash.

Entering into the following challenges:
The Crazy Challenge #210 Pretty in pink.
Fantastic Tuesday #111 Anything goes +something with B. (Butterfly).
UnstampaBelles #52 Anything goes + use flowers. (roses on the dp's and embellishments)
Twofers  Challenge #7 Things with wings.
Scrap and Craft #15 Shabby chic or vintage.
Through the Craftroom Door # Anything goes.

So, two completely different styles but the same challenge.
Hope I have given you some food for thought.
and ideas on what to use for zig zags.

They are both gorgeous Mrs A but I am so drawn to the first one - its so lovely in it's simplicity. It's very clever how you have used the bit of paper you have punched the butterflies out of. It just looks lovely. Michelle x

Your cards are both beautiful, Mrs A! I love expecially the CAS, such a clever idea you have had with the washi tape! The punched holes and the diecuts look so well toghether! The pearls make a perfect way for the fluttering butterflies!

Arci is really adorable, he don't makes any mayhem! :D

I have to say that I do prefer your second card and not just because the butterfly is not standing out as much.!

Both cards are absolutely gorgeous - you know how much I love CAS and am always looking out for ideas for using Washi tape as I am washi-tape-challenged! And your second is really luxurious and elegant. Putting my Twofers hat on for a moment, than you for sharing with us. I'm afraid we can't consider it for a prize as our rule is the card must include some stamping, but we've loved looking at it.

Each so very different in the styles, but equally lovely. I will confess that #1 will have to be my fav, just because of the CAS design that has such brilliant designing. Absolutely no waste! #2 is so pretty with all the frills & pretties on it...lots to love. TFS & Hugs.
