Floral Spray.

I have made another  U fold shape for your inspiration. This time I have used acetate to cover the  entire front of the card instead of just a bar going across and have attached using brads  on each of the corners. I am calling this Version II and I have put instructions for making it over on the Butterfly Blog under the Card Shape page. Again I have used all of the seven elements.
Umber/Unbleached silk/Ultra Pink/ U fold/Flower pattern paper/ Die cut/Butterflies.
The sentiment is die cut using  Xcut Ornate Frame and the flowers are from the same set by StampinUp  called Birthday Blooms. I have  coloured using my Caran D' Ache water coloured paints and when dried fussy cut out. Edged with silver gel pen. The U fold base has been made from a KanBan  Background card sheet called Butterflies and Roses 901023. The flowers have been mounted onto the acetate using 3d pads and it does all fold flat for postage.

I am rather pleased with how the card has turned out.

My second card just uses up all the scraps from the two U Shape Cards I made and posted last week.
I have six of the elements on this card. I am determined to use the scraps up on my desk instead of just adding to the over flowing box so have been attaching them to off cuts of white card as and when they fit. This was a small piece of water colour card which after attaching all the  pieces I simply rounded off three of the corners, added the die cut butterfly which was also out on my desk, attached to a bigger snippet of pink card and then onto the white card base cut from cardstock.  The sentiment is by Phill Martin Scribble Corner Sentiments 'Every Day.' This is a very CAS Card  for me which you will not see very often so feast your eyes!!

Gorgeous U-fold card - I love the way you have used the image as the bridge. And what a great idea to combine all the snippets into one card.

Great interpretation of In The Pink. Thanks for playing along with us at Make My Monday Challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creative projects in the future galleries again. And sorry for the late comment.

Two super cards, Mrs A. I love how you've used the flowers as the 'bridge'. Your second card is a great way of using up snippets. I'm visiting your blog today with my Crafty Calendar Challenge DT hat on. Thank you for joining in the challenge. Good luck!!

Di said...

Two lovely cards my friend! And your snippets one is clever use of snippets - love it!

Got excited earlier this morning as I could get onto Sainsbury's site - along with half the country. No slots available whether in a vulnerable group or not. Still, reports on the local COVID-19 FB group are implying that shops are quite well stocked and possibly panic buying is easing off. All we can hope is that those who are allowed to do their own shopping do just that and perhaps delivery slots will become available. Parsley Box order arrived and is in quarantine for now - even the promise of a lemon cake within didn't cut any ice, sigh.

So sorry I've taken ages to comment.

Hugs
