Così questa card l'ho fatta in fretta e furia, e a dire la verità non mi convince molto... Ma non faccio più in tempo a prepararne un'altra per entrare nel Butterfly Challenge#62, il cui tema è Lavanda e/o Lettere + farfalle.
La carta patterned color lavanda con fiori e farfalle l'ho avuta da Mrs A.(Grazie!).
Era dentro l'hessian bag del premio di un Butterfly Challenge che ho vinto tempo addietro, così come il delizioso piccolo brad a forma di libellula che ho messo sul fiocco di lana bianca.
Il fiocco di lana è riciclato dalla confezione di una saponetta profumata.
Le due colombe piccole le ho tagliate da piccoli avanzi di cartoncino bianco. Le fustelle (Memory Box) fanno parte del premio che ho vinto tempo addietro al blog candy di Kevin (Grazie!!), mentre la fustella per fare quella grande l'avevo già (Sizzix).
Il grande (e strano) fiore l'ho fatto assemblando diverse forme che avevo già preparato in precedenza:
- i due fiori grandi della base (fustelle Sizzix: Bigz-Lotus e Sizzlits Accordion flower set) li ho "ricamati" usando un punch per angoli, poi li ho sfumati con i DI e ho curvato leggermente le punte. Queste due forme fanno parte di una serie di esperimenti che avevo fatto con i punch.
la margherita bianca è tagliata con un punch da un avanzo di vellum; anche i due fiorellini piccoli sono tagliati con due punch da piccolissimo scarti di cartoncino.
Per finire ho incollato su un cartoncino color fuxia piegato doppio.
Con questo progetto intendo partecipare ai seguenti challenge:

When you work I'm always amazed at someone having time to make cards and blog! So my hat's off to you. I think your butterfly card is very pretty and I loved reading about the salvaged bits. The doily turned out beautifully, and I love the floral background for the sweet doves. Liked the way you've tied the yarn and had a 'butterfly bow' on it, topped with the dragonfly. I think it's a lovely card!! Good luck with the coming week. Hugs & TFS
I love your punch experiments and how they turned out, especially the flower tips! I hate rushing through when I'm making cards too, but this certainly looks like you spent a lot of time putting it together! I really like that dragonfly brad accent too!
Such a beautiful flower and lovely birds on your project
Cheers

Bella. Mi piace molto l'effetto del fiore e del resto.
So pretty - you made such a beautiful flower! Love that little dragonfly, too!
Now I don't think your card would look plain or empty without the bling, but that being said I think they look great on here, placed in what I call a random yet organized way. Your original own made flower looks beautiful. You shouldn't feel this card doesn't live up to the standards, I think it's special and there's something 'you' in it too.
Hello, Alice! You must be excited to be back at work! But now you have less time for crafting, sadly. Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love how you include so many details, or bits and bobs as you say! There is so much to look at here and I love the close-up photos so I don't miss anything! Everything comes together beautifully around your gorgeous flower! Wonderful card, my sweet friend! Wishing you a wonderful day!
I love that you have used some of your wins from me to make this lovely card. It has all come together so well. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
Fab card.Love the beautiful flower and the lovely colours.

A lovely card Alice and all the elements go together perfectly. I like the way you've used the vellum under your flower and the doves are really sweet. Lots of lovely layers. Barbxx

A me la card piace! Se l'avessi fotografata in piedi avrebbe fatto un altro effetto. Nonostante i tanti dettagli, la trovo equilibrata.
I think it's quite lovely, Alice, and I'm impressed by how you have beautifully upcycled parts of it and used lots of snippets, too!! Hugs, Darnell
This is gorgeous Alice, some lovely finishing touches and a very pretty design.
Hope you are having a good weekend, Anne xx
