And I made two cards, both pretty similar:

| Supplies: paper from Basic Grey "Out of Print;" thin, adhesive backed cork; ivory velvet paper; Spellbinders dies: circle, lacy circle, butterfly; sentiment from Paper Smooches; versamark, white EP; crocheted mat by me |

| Supplies:
paper from Basic Grey "Out of Print;" green glitter paper - Colorbok; white velvet paper; Spellbinders dies: circle, lacy circle, butterfly; sentiment & twine from Paper Smooches; Palette Noir inkcrocheted mat by me |
And why do I love butterflies? They are rare (around here), they are soft, beautiful, and delicate.
About my Picasa troubles...I gave up! I downloaded GIMP and luckily Lisa at dahlhouse designs has a terrific tutorial on how to use it. Sometimes it's best to just admit defeat & move on!

These are wonderful! I love your crochet mats - they look beautiful and the cork adds great texture. And, of course, you can nver go wrong with butterflies and pearls.

Two spectacular butterfly cards, Jessi. Love the different textures that you achieved from the various layers. I think those butterflies escaped from my Butterfly Garden!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! These are gorgeous!! I LOVE the cork!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Jessi! Hmm, a butterfly challenge, you say? :D
ReplyDeleteI adore butterflies, and these cards are just perfect! Love them Jessi!
ReplyDeleteJessi, these are beautiful! And I love how you used cork and sparkly cardstock to fill your lovely hand-crocheted mats. Super idea! And sweet butterflies, too. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your butterfly cards, especially the first one with the neutral colors and your beautiful crocheted mat.
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely on their crochet mats and I'm diggin' the glitter on the second one. :)
ReplyDeleteJessi, even tho the cards have the same sketch, they are both delightful! I love that you used some texture in your cards and by putting the butterflies on the circle, you have showcased how pretty they are! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeletethank you for playing along with us @ OCC.
Love that you went soft and organic on these butterflies! And of course, they look awesome with your crocheted mats!
ReplyDeleteYour crochet mats are amazing! How elegant do these beauties look showcased by them! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI got your email thank you! I will have to try it when I have some breathing / thinking room. Husband away for several days, so that doesn't make it easy with a little one on the go. I just hope it's MAC compatible. You rock thanks for sharing!
What a good idea using the cork! Very cool and natural look. I have to admit though, I'm a glitter girl and that green glitter circle is *fabulous*! Thanks for sharing your creation with us in our little 'corner' of the blogosphere at the OCC!
ReplyDeleteso cool. love the cork, love the crochet, LOVE the cards!
