L'anno scorso avevo fatto delle prove per fabbricare una carta rustica e textured con i fiori secchi del mio giardino (in particolar modo con le fresie, i miei fiori preferiti).
Potete vedere qui i miei tentativi e il procedimento usato.
Mi erano avanzati parecchi pezzi di quella carta e oggi ne ho usato uno, insieme a molte altre piccole cose avanzate da altri lavori. Credevo di fare finalmente un po' di pulizia, ma è una battaglia persa in partenza!! :D LOL
Per decorare la card ho usato un topper che avevo preparato tempo fa -e poi accantonato: avevo timbrato delle note musicali su una forma ricavata da un avanzo di cartoncino colorato con gli stencil e i Distress inks. Ci avevo incollato sopra una targhetta ovale (brand Sizzix) timbrata con la scritta "for you", una piccola gemma a forma di cuore, dei piccoli fiori di carta handmade e un pezzo di washi tape con le farfalle. Era così...
Ho ripreso questo pezzo che stava inutilizzato in una scatola, l'ho tagliato a metà, ho capovolto una delle due parti e le ho incollate una sopra all'altra. Eccolo qui:
Ho aggiunto un grande fiore fatto con dei dryer sheets usati, degli stami tagliati con un punch Wiler, una gemma a cuore più grande e delle gocce di Nuvo drops per decorare. Le farfalle viola sono tagliate con alcuni punch; ho aggiunto le antenne di filo metallico (wire) alle due farfalle più grandi.
Un altro piccolissimo pezzo di washi tape uguale l'ho attaccato in basso, insieme ad alcune piccole gemme. Ho incollato tutto su un cartoncino lilla e poi su un altro cartoncino giallo piegato a metà.
Con questo progetto vorrei partecipare ai seguenti challenge:

Buona sera ancora Alice,
Cosa posso dire!! Una bellissima creazione fatta con alcuni dei tuoi fiori pressati, che è molto speciale ed è una voce perfetta per Allsorts 'Flowers all Over', grazie mille per aver messo un'opera d'arte così bella.
Ho premuto alcuni fiori molto tempo fa e ricordo che ci è voluto molto tempo, ma i risultati erano così delicati e belli.

You just continue to amaze me with all of the embellishments you add to your creations that look wonderful! I love all those pretty butterflies along with the musical sheets, but that home-made background paper is off the charts fantastic!! Your experiment went quite well from what I see :) This is a real work of art!
What a cool card. Love that you made paper using flowers from your garden. I think its great that you have used things that you've saved from other projects. I save stuff not I just need to use it. LOL Thanks for joining us at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges for our latest challenge. {Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges}Good luck and join us again soon. Hugs, Barbara
Lots and lots of embellishments here and it all goes so well together. Loving all the butterflies. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
This is so pretty Alice, I love that you used your own flowers to make the paper - how wonderful

Your 'bits n bobs' cards are also beautiful and brilliant. Lovely care Alice.xx
There you go again Alice recycling everything :D. Fabulous card! Such a lovely topper made using lots of wonderful different elements. I love the flower petals made with dryer sheets, gorgeous colours and a lovely looking texture too. I also love how you've added wire antennas and bodies to the butterflies, a really great little detail. But the star of the card is definitely your beautiful handmade paper with the pretty Freesia flowers encapsulated in it, gorgeous! Debra x
This is just fabulous, love the layering and gorgeous colours.

Oh this is beautiful, Alice! I like how you were able to use some bits and bobs that you had abandoned previously but now they look perfect here on this card! Everything is layered so beautifully and I like the unusual shape of the musical die-cut. Your handmade textured floral paper is gorgeous, and I love all the variations of butterflies! Nicely done!

A very fanciful design, you’ve let your imagination run free in your bits and bobs box. I know no one better than you at this.
A Settembre me lo devo studiare un po' questo procedimento per fare la carta...
Mi piacciono molto le sovrapposizioni di questa card.
Beautiful card!
Thank you for sharing at Allsorts;-))m
Le tue carte fatte a mano sono cosi belle che è un peccato coprirle cosi tanto! Ed io riproverei con gli esperimenti :-)
Oh my goodness Alice, this has just shot right up into my favourites list of your works. Absolutely gorgeous, love love love!! All of those little bits that you have used work so well together, and I am so in love with your layering of the frames and flower die cuts! I could stare at this one for hours and keep finding new little things to admire!! Just stunning!
Apparently it's supposed to cool off and even rain next week. I sure hope they're right about that, we could really use a break from the crazy!! lol. Have a wonderful weekend! hugs :)
Love your handmade paper! That looks so wonderful as a background on this pretty card. You do the layers and embellishments so well, and the card always looks so 'put together' (as opposed to many of mine that end up looking 'thrown together'). You definitely have an eye for the details, and I really do like your handmade paper with the botanicals! Well done, Miss Alice! TFS & Hugs
Fabulous shape and a GORGEOUS card, Alice. Beautiful details and pretty roses and butterflies. Baci, amica.
A really pretty card with lots of lovely details.
Thanks for joining in with nature challenge at That's Crafty! and wishing you good luck.
