Butterfly Picture Frame - Spellbinders

Well, what do this think of the new blog look?  I received so many emails from you about my last banner being so dark, I thought I would change it once again.  The banner above is called Garden Girl, isn't she lovely, so vintage don't you think?  I can't take any credit for it except for picking it out.  The sweet young lady who created it is from Singapore, she has a Etsy Store so you can pick out what you like, plus if you need assistance uploading it to your blog, she can help you with that also.  Thank you Viola, for making such beautiful art.

The project I'm sharing with you today is a picture frame filled with lots goodies.  I haven't a clue what picture i'm going to put in it, but I sure enjoyed making it.  I started off making a card, by the time I put everything I wanted on it, it was much bigger then a card LOL!   I'm going to go through each eliment for you below: 

Butterfly:

Place Spellbinders Fanciful Flight die templet on your patterned cardstock, cut/emboss. Using the same die trace around the outside edge only this time on Wendy's Clearly Art Molding Film, cut out with sicissors, then attach to the first cut/embossed butterfly, and heat and shape.  With a separate sheet of cardstock (same as step one) trace around the outside edge, cut out using your sicissors.  Assemble by gluing together as shown in picture five. 

Flower Images:  All of the floral images in this project were scraps of webster's pages cardstock I had left over from prior projects, I just couldn't throw in the trash (listed below). 

Tissue Flower:  With Spellbinders Standard Circle die templet, cut multiple layers of tissue paper, then place a small amount of glue in the center of each one.  When dry lightly color with the Copic Markers.  Ruffel each layer pulling toward the center. Glue to white doily that is also colored with the same markers used in the flower. 

Center Doily: I had so much fun making this eyelet doily using Spellbinders Eyelte die template.  I cut/embossed the doily with vellum, then embossed it again using Spellbinders Flowers Impressabilities so I would have more of a lacy look, and lightly colored it with the same color of Copic Markers I used on the tissue flower above. It's so pretty in real life..

Arrange as shown.

Love - Crafty Secrets

Hello everybody, I'm sure you can see the change from pink to tan here on my blog, I thought having the same look for four years, a much needed makeover was due.  I took the plunge and changed it completely, I wish I could take the credit for making the changes you see here, but I wouldn't have a clue where to start.  I did the next best thing and talked to a very good friend, and she did it for me.  Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Here is another card I made using images from Crafty Secrets Love Mail Creative Scraps. The card base was cut/embossed using Spellbinders Grand Squares #4, then layered with pink and vanilla cardstock, cut/embossed with Grand Labels One #3. I embossed the vanilla cardstock with the Swiss Dots folder, then used three different colors of acrylic paint dabbers on the vanilla cardstock to brighten it a bit, and match the pinks in the images.  I cut/embossed the Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs die template, then used the Standard Circles Small Nestabilities #5 to cut out the center of the Doily, using the acrylic dabbers to match card base.   Add ribbon, pearls and Stickles.
