Mark's Finest Papers
Daffodil Greetings is my favorite of this month's released sets. Everyone knows that I love butterflies. This butterfly I think is going to be my favorite go to butterfly.
This first card was a sneak peak card that I made last week using the SCS sketch.
This card was another sneak peek card that I made for last week's SCS color combo challenge.
This next card was the last of the sneak peek cards. This was for the SCS F4A challenge to use twinches.
Now on to the new projects. Here is a close up of the butterfly
I wanted to make a tall long card so that I could showcase the butterfly trail which is bling from want 2 scrap. I think it works so well for butterfly trails. I colored the butterfly with yellow orange, green, turquoise and blue.I used the porcelain paper technique to make this butterfly cluster pin. It is very hard and shiny.
The pin turned out so well I decided to try a pair of earrings. No one will guess that these are just glue and paper..
I know a lot of people, especially my kids make fun of Miley Cyrus songs, but this one is especially pretty and I like it. Hope you like it. If today you are still a caterpillar hang on your time is coming. If you are a butterfly, be thankful for your blessings and fly, fly away.
You used this set in wonderful way, MariLynn. Love the pin and earrings. Yes, the bling is great for the trail and your embossed cards are just so pretty...great job!!!
