here ya go:
(patterned paper: basic grey, bo bunny, doodlebug; glossy black cardstock: ranger; butterfly dies: quickutz; gem flourish: prima; labels: dymo; ink: colorbox; adhesives: tombow mono runner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine)
it's a challenge card, even! for kazan's sketch 43 at 2S4Y. i am submitting it on the final day, naturally. 'cause that's the way i roll. (by which i mean slowly...and at the very last minute!)
i used my brand new two-part quickutz butterfly die (my december VIP coupon purchase from cut at home--many thanks to dearest june for the emergency compatibility info!) i cut two layers of the body and one of the outline and then machine stitched them all together and attached the "compound butterfly" to the card with foam tape. i love how much dimension it has!
next time i think i will try adding even more layers and see what that does to the dimesional profile.

by the way, it's saturday...
the new prompt is up at tyggereye art...
do *YOU*
HEART the ART??!
Wow! The die arrived already AND you used it!!! It is fantastic; I was *shocked* that you chose pink for your butterfly ;) I am a little envious of the sewing on your cards. That is a technique I have loved for years (Tracy does it a lot and even on her scrapbook pages.) But, I don't have a sewing machine and I'm quite sure I do not remember how to thread the bobbin and all that stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood luck @ 2S4Y, not that you need it!
