Double Point Fold

This is my final entry for the Butterfly Challenge that features a Double Point Fold. It is a fun and easy to make card using Mrs. A’s instructions on the Butterfly Challenge blog. When planning the card, I remembered that I'd picked up a packet of beautiful Christmas placemats a few years ago at an end of year sale. They include Delft dinnerware so worked perfectly with this challenge. I wasn't sure how I would tie butterflies into a Christmas theme, then remembered once reading a sentiment that called snowflakes "winter's butterflies." I did some research on the web and found it! The butterfly in the inside is made with scraps of vellum, some bling, and a body with antennae fussy-cut from a scrap of black cardstock.

Last year I met a talented young artist named Sherry West via her FB page. The images she creates are adorable, so I was thrilled to win a few through contests on her FB page HERE. This sweet image named Fall Poppie is currently being provided as a freebie Join Sherry’s FB page to obtain a copy of this fun digi and to be alerted to future freebies and challenges. (BTW- Sherry is also an author. Her first children’s book, named “It’s Raining Cats Dogs and Pollywogs,” quickly sold out the first run on Amazon after its release. You can find it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other sources across the web.)  The sentiments are both freebies (links provided in supplies) and the little spider on the inside is drawn by little ol’ moi!

My final post features my final entry into Scribbles Designs Challenge “Card For A Child.” I know several young cowboys and cowgirls that would love to get a card like this one! I used a boot from a coloring page created by a child-book author, Jan Brett, as the template for the boot. The “tooled leather” was created with a scrap from a roll of embossed vinyl wallpaper that I purchased at a Goodwill store many years ago and have never used! (I created a “base” for the boot with kraft brown cardstock, then cut the embossed wallpaper into three sections and attached them to the boot base with double-stick tape. Shading and highlighting were then added to the boot sole and heel with markers and gel pen.) I used a Power Poppy Sketch as the base of my card, adding patterned paper, punched stars, and a free Happy Birthday digi.

 

Supplies: 
·   Boot Template- Created with a Jan Brett Coloring page you can find HERE.
·   Kraft and other assorted cardstock from my stash
·   Boot Sole and heels colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Digital Papers- We Are 3 Digital Papers (Howdy)
·   Circle template from my scrapbooking stash.
·   Front Sentiment- A freebie from skogstokiga.blogspot.com (options change occasionally so this might no longer be available)
·   Inside Sentiment- Computer Generated
