Hello there friends! Are you ready for our next challenge? LESSology Challenge #39 Fluttering Butterflies is all about being inspired by pretty butterflies...:) Let one butterfly be the star of the show or have a trail of butterflies on your fabulous projects!
Remember, you can create anything you like as long as you incorporate at least ONE upcycled item on your project. Please indicate what it is in your post as it might not be apparent.
As you can see the new challenge at Lessology is butterflies. Whenever I see a large butterfly hovering near and just sort of hanging around I feel it is my Dad close by, so...... I thought I would like to join in the challenge and dedicate a page to my Dad.
My up cycle items are ~ old cotton, twine and cheesecloth that were my Mum's.
The flair is from StudioFourteen40 new "Always Range". It is a beautiful range . I received my order last week and so impressed with it, as I am with all StudioFourteen40 Product.
I used my new Tim Holtz Shattered glass mask from Craftqueen. First I inked and then misted and because I can't bare to waste anything , I turned the mask over and used the excess ink on the page as well. Then I really liked that effect, so I moved my photo to the left of the page so that it would not cover the mask negative that I had used. I mounted the photo of Dad onto a 6 x 4 ATC Card from Craftqueen and when I picked an order up Nicole had tied it with the perfect colour Satin Seam Binding to add to my layout.
The Butterflies are cut from a 6 and Half inch pad.
Thank you for popping by.
Love and Peace
