Freshly Made Paper Players...



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 :)
