(The usual disclaimer - in real life that ribbon is NOT bright orange, it's a lovely soft peach like the upper die cut doily)
The design of this card is inspired by the Butterfly Challenge where the wheel segments this time are paper piecing, pearls, patterned paper, peach, pink and purple. I've managed to combine all the segments except paper piecing and frankly last week's venture into it was enough to last me for quite some time!
I've used two pink patterned papers, pink heart gems and pink pearl braid, a purple flower, purple die cut butterfly, sentiment and doily and peach ribbon and doily.
Incidentally that doily die is one of my oldest dies and yet I hardly ever use it because although the die cut comes out lovely and cleanly, the waste from all those little holes doesn't. It doesn't matter what I do to help them on their way (and that die has single-handedly killed a Tool'n'One) I end up having to pick them all out from the die with a pokey tool. One. By. One. So you can see how much love has gone into this card. I cut TWO of the blighters!
I am sharing it with The Butterfly Challenge and with
Little Red Wagon - Luuurve
C.R.A.F.T - Mother's Day/Feminine
And, thanks to Liz's suggestion, I am also sharing with The Crafty Calendar Challenge - 2 or more layers.
that is lovely, great layering and I feel your pain over the one by one, though I did have a chuckle at your wording of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Such neat die cuts. Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Jane, well done for incorporating so many of Mrs A's elements for the Butterfly Challenge. I feel your pain at having to poke out all the little pieces, one by one. Would be great to see your card over in the Crafty Calendar Challenge, where the challenge this month is 2 or more layers. xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Jane, I love the doilies such a shame the die is a pain to use as its so pretty. I have a Marianne border die that is like that.

ReplyDeleteBet you wish you'd done paper piecing instead of that darn doily!! The result is really pretty though and glad you persevered to see another day. Thankyou for coming along and spinning the butterfly wheel this week. Hugs Mrs A.
