Flutter Away

Good Morning!!

Today is the first day of our latest/newest challenge at "The Sisterhood"

Darlene is our hostess and she has chosen Paper Piecing and/or Piercing

for our theme!!

I gave this one a lot of thought and decided I would do "piercing".

You might have to look hard to see it, but it is the "butterfly motion"

that I also added tiny sequins to!!

This card is a mix of old and new.

I purchased this Wild Rose Butterfly die before Christmas

and this is the first chance I had to use it.

I actually thought it would be a little more "doily like",

but I think it is pretty!!

I cut it twice, once in black for the underneath and again,

using some very old "scrap bin" SU paper.

The background paper is SU Pale Plum, another "oldie"

I got in the scrap bags once again and pulled out three pieces for the bottom.

Added a black and white gingham bow with a few very old mulberry

flowers I stacked together.  In fact these are so old, one

fell apart in my hand while I was trying to put the brad in..lol...

Of course it also could be because of the cat, as she destroyed 2 die cuts

and totally undid a bow I had just finished!
