More Butterflies.

 Morning and I have more butterflies to share. I used the Heffy Doodle die cut frames with the aperture piece on 3D foam pads. Once again I paper pieced the Chocolate Baroque butterflies with Crafters Companion p, paper, and added 3D foam pads under the wings. The Tonic die-cut sentiment I layered three times for strength and stencilled the background with a dotty Creative Expressions stencil.

Very sweet butterflies, so cute in their frames! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, my gosh, you do the most amazing job with those beautiful butterflies! Not so sweet is the spider bite on your ear. I had a mystery bite like that on my thigh. I felt the sting when it happened and, boy, did it burn and itch and swell and turn all red. I think it must have been in my pants leg when I put them on. I sympathize with you!

Such a beautiful butterfly card! The Heffy Doodle die-cut frames create a wonderful layout, and the Chocolate Baroque butterflies look stunning with the paper piecing technique using Crafters Companion paper. The layered Tonic die-cut sentiment adds a lovely finishing touch, and the dotty Creative Expressions stencil creates a perfect backdrop. A truly elegant design! Hope you're feeling better soon.
