Inspired by this versatile Freshly Made sketch, and The Paper Players Wordsmith Challenge. Using the My Favourite Things stamped quote as my inspiration, I created my "roots" or the striped paper pattern base sheet using triangular strips of MME papers adhered to a plain white paper base for stability. I die cut the solid butterfly shape using Memory Box Darla Butterfly before die cutting my circle. Using navy patterned paper I die cut the butterfly overlay using Memory Box Vivienne Butterfly, and a second circle, which sits underneath my striped paper base.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend :)
Lyndal, this is stunning! I love the butterfly (so delicate!) and the neat way you did the striped base...so much visual interest there. Beautiful!
