Had my first "class" for the year over the weekend and this week you will see some of the cards we made.
The first card had to be made using the Butterflies Thinlits Dies because I am quite taken with them at the moment. This was a very simple card to make and one that would suit any occasion by just changing the sentiment. The largest butterfly dies takes up most of a standard card front, so not much more is needed to finish it off.
The butterflies was run through the Big Shot to cut and then we used a sponge dauber to colour the outer edges of the butterfly. I found it easier to sponge while still leaving the outside cut off of cardstock in place - just gave it a little extra "strength" while sponging. A little bow of twine was added and then a flower made with pressed clay molds popped on top to finish. The hardest part was sticking the butterfly down, making sure no glue showed through. But on Saturday they got to use Jac paper, which is double sided sticky paper. Much easier.
My favourite was the Wisteria (last one) at first, but now I love the Indigo (first one) best. Which is your favourite?
