To make these little beauties I started with some patterned and solid paper flowers that I just had hanging around. I tried to layer coordinating colors for interest. I sewed in some crocheted colored floral centers for texture all the way through to a pin back. The next part was to paint and use Stickles, they come in such lovely colors, to detail the tiny cutout butterflies from the butterfly ATC Frame centers. I wrapped some pretty twine around to create the body and the antennae. They were glued to the edge, as if they just stopped by for a sip of nectar.
Hope you will flutter by a pretty flower this week.
take care, gerri

ReplyDeleteHi Gerri! These turned out great! I like how you positioned the butterflies on the flowers. This is the first year I've had a ton of butterflies on one of my bushes. Now if only I could remember the name of that bush to buy another. LoL
