Botanical Butterflies, Cushions and Curtains

Hi there

I hope all is well with you and yours....

Ever since I bought new curtains and cushions I've been wanting to copy the idea.

Below is a cushion, embroidered with a few butterflies,

the curtains also have a few butterflies with a watercolour effect

I tried different methods to try and replicate....Blend pens,

watercolour and using wink of stella with inks.

The Botanical Butterfly DSP has these black and white sheets,

perfect to try out this design of colouring only some of the butterflies.

I wasn't totally happy with my colouring,

but the soft furnishings are designed by professionals,

so I tried not to be too hard on myself :)

I then chopped up the paper, giving me two backgrounds,

and a few spare to punch out.

I used some snippets of card for the sentiment and layers,

as well as a snippet of ribbon I found, close to the pink colour.

The cut circle above was a snippet left after cutting a smaller circle from it.

It wasn't quite even, so I cut off the edge, forming a "c" shape.

I added gems and sequins to decorate.

I used a coloured punched butterfly on the bermuda bay card blank,

and a black one on the pink card blank.

Which one do you prefer? If any?!

As I've used lots of snippets, I'm popping over to the

Snippets Playground challenge

It shows we can be inspired by things around us.

My mojo has been very low lately,

but at least I managed a couple of cards I can send.

Take care and see you soon

Lesley
