The mid-week challenge at wecraftcards was TicTacToe. The three “ingredients” I selected were lace, sentiment and flowers. The butterfly is from a stash of my mom's treasures that were passed down to me when she passed away several years ago.The flowers are on background paper, which I colored with markers.) Oh, and I hand-stitched the butterfly to colored vellum to add some translucent color to the butterfly wings.

For my next card, I printed a free clip art pocket watch (found here http://www.clipartbest.com/clipart-4cb8RkXcg0) onto vellum. Scripture verse is printed off on my computer.

The next challenge was to select three “ingredients” from a Bingo-type board to incorporate into a card. I selected along the top line options- chipboard, flowers and shaped base to make a purse card. The inside of the card includes the bottom of a small school lunch bag to hold a gift card or small treats inside of the “purse.” You can find a tutorial and some lovely samples for this purse here

Wow... you hand stitched that butterfly, now that is awesome. Very creative and great job. Thanks for playing in our June Bug challenge at Power Poppy!
ReplyDeleteStacy... I hand-stitched the butterfly to the vellum backing! My sweet mom, or one of her many crafty friends, had made the butterfly. I think it is either crocheted or tatted. (I can never tell the difference!)
DeleteWonderful creation! Thanks for joining us here at Word Art Wednesday. We hope you will join us again soon. Leaving you with this encouragement found in Psalms 31:24 (KJV) " Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD."
