Butterly flowers...

Happy Friday,

Another double day as I promised to give a closer view of the card I made on my first Hochanda show on Wednesday evening at 8pm.  If you want to see how this card was made then click HERE for the rewind service and watch how its done.


I used the insert die from the butterfly frame and the amazing butterfly edger to make he main decoration of the card.  For the flowers I used vellum I had pixie powdered along with the cape day die.



The second card is a christmas card as I try to post a chritsmas card every friday!

a very simple card made with the insert die form the poinsettia background which I cut then applied velum to the rear.  I coloured the velum form the back using alcohol markers and repeated the process to give me three panels. I repeated this on the poinsettia tag and added this town the side!

Winners form this weeks card will be announced tomorrow!

Enjoy...

    Just finished the ironing to find your blog hadn't been updated, shock, horror.
    Two fabulous cards today. I love them both but the top just has the edge for me. I'm hoping to find time to watch yesterday's shows today as OH is at the classic car show again.
    Happy crafting.

    Hi John and crafters all,
    Two beautiful cards for the twofer Friday
    Love them both !!!!!
    Watched you demo no 1 so need to pop these dies on my Christmas list.
    No 2 will make a great batch card.
    Enjoyed you shows yesterday and received my email about Gilding polish.
    I shall use it sparingly as now I know it is a collectors piece with it being called
    GLIDING POLISH which it is really as it does glide across the card.
    Love and crafty hugs to all

    Gorgeous butterfly card. The photos do not show the "enamel" butterflies, so I was glad I was able to see this card on hochanda. I enjoyed your shows on hochanda this week. Looking forward to more shows in the future.

    Hi John. Both are lovely cards but I think the first one is my favourite. I love the colour and particularly like the spray of flowers.

    Good morning John,
    well card one would be my favourite as i do love those cape daisies that you have made, they are just so pretty done in the vellum and pink card for the middles. The butterfly frame is such a versatile die and looks so different in the different settings that it is put into. I think that and the butterfly outline is the next ones on my list of getting as who doesn't need a butterfly?
    The poinsettia background die is a gorgeous die and fairly packs a punch when done in triplet like you have done. I love how you have coloured it in on the back of the vellum flower to bring out all it's beauty in the leaves and flowers. Thank you John for two gorgeous cards,
    love and crafty hugs
    Norah (glenochil)

    Must appologise for my very late comment.
    John this is another stunner and enjoyed watching you demo this on hochanda.
    I sat there with my pen and paper to make a note of everything you used for this so i could add it to my list for santa lol
