Dragonflies and Butterflies

Happy Monday!

I didn't have much time to craft last week with

minding the Grandkids so what little time I had

I made some 3d dragonflies and butterflies.

My lovely friend Mary had used a layered butterfly

on one of her cards and when I admired it

(thinking she had made it herself)

she told me it was shop bought.

Sooooo, being who I am I had to have a go at making my own.

I used the dragonfly garden bundle and the now retired

butterfly gala stamp set and matching punch.

The ink colours are from the new in-colour pads.

I stamped them out onto silk card and clear embossed them,

using the shadow stamps for the underneath layer.

I then layered them up at the centre body with a bit of foam

and added some little pearls in gold and silver.

The butterflies had some soft wire antenna made

and popped in place.

I was quite pleased with the finished bunch

and they feel nice and heavy to withstand the post.

So watch this space for some creations using them up.
