Triple Trouble.

I only found this challenge a few days ago.

Creative Carte Blanche - Creative Adventure #2  

and really wanted to enter.

The challenge is to use 3 things that do not go together.

We had to incorporate 

Corrugated  Paper

Lace - vintage or store bought

Metal - of some kind.
Also include our creative process through
our thoughts and pictures.
So here goes.

The corrugated cardboard I found in my packaging stash.

Some mint green lace whilst not vintage was in my stash.

I rounded up a few other items,  dried stems from the garden

(yes I do keep all manner of things), ready made flowers,

wooden button and a couple of likely mini matchpot paints.

The metal element was an easy choice.

I had this pile of attached metal buttterflies that had been

gifted to me by a good blogging friend just waitng for the right 

moment to be used.

Having trimmed the corrugated card down and selecting 

two of the sticks to use as sides edges I gave them

a quick splash of paint along with the button and set 

aside to dry.

The pile of butterflies had just a very light brush over 

with the paint  and then dabs of liquid pearls

in mint green and white opal.

When that was dry I dabbed over with stickles in

diamond and disco ball.

I wanted the roses to appear to be growing up the sticks

so twisted the stems round to look like a vine.

Embellised them with the stickles and a little of the 

mint green liquid pearls and prettied up the button

with the stickles an extra opal button and a pink pearl.

When everything was dry I hot glued in place.

Here is the finished plaque The lighting is

not very good as the lace is not showing up properly

but you can see the true colour in the first picture.

Sentiment was punched out using SU''s Modern Labels.

I'm also showing this as inspiration for my challenge

#51 Butterflies +M is for margins and/or mint.

There is still  5 days left to play along.
