I'm still on a mission to use up my stash of patterned paper. Have you taken my challenge yet? You could win a handmade art journal!
I recently organized a twinchie swap and wanted to include a little card with each package, but there were lots to make. So, I created a bunch of really simple, but really cute (I think) 3" x 3" cards.
I die cut butterflies from pretty patterned paper that I'd been hoarding! I stamped them with a script image and the sponged the edges.
The 3" x 3" bases are left over strips of watercolor paper from making my custom photo albums.
I adhered the butterflies to the bases and embellished their centres with a pearl, rhinestone or button.
Here's the finished batch.
Happy creating!
Ali
