Crafting with Dragonflies - Stickpins & Things with Wings.

 

It only seems like a few months ago that we started our

fortnightly challenges over at CRAFTING WITH DRAGONFLIES

and here we are into Challenge #15

which is to

Make a card with Stickpins - Things with Wings

Personally loved this one.

 

 

This is a photo from the internet of the most beautiful butterfly

in Northern Queensland which is

The Ulysses Butterfly.

 

 It was with this butterfly in mind I decided to go with the beautiful blue

 as the centre colour of my card

I had so much fun making it as I love a bit of Vintage

 Lace Ribbon Flowers - you get the idea

and who doesn't love butterflies?

 

 Our generous sponsor for this Challenge is

 

 

Crafts and Me

who will be supplying the lucky winner with 3 digi's of their choice.

 

Here is my finished card with

3 stickpins (one didn't look enough) and butterfly.

I did have a lovely little stickpin with a butterfly on

but got side tracked inking my butterfly I forgot to look at it

and .... well... it didn't match so went fishing for some others I knew I had in my stash. 

 

 

Products I used

Aqua card stock

Parchment paper

Designer papers - patterned and spotted

Decorative Labels 27

Laser cut butterfly

Spellbinders Flourishes

Kazazz ribbon

Peacock Feather & Antique Linen Distress Inks

Kaisercraft pearls

Pins - 2 cream hearts and round ball I adhered

glossy accents to it then covered it with PearEx #681

I lightly spritzed the back of my card with irridescent medium

but is not showing up clearly - just added a bit of sparkle.

My pretty little flower is from Inspired by Stamping

added the finishing touch.
