Flutterbys Card

I hope everyone had a good weekend, it certainly wasn't the best weather but a good excuse to stay inside and craft!

Following on from my layout that I posted last week I have made a quick card using some more of the Flutterbys from American Crafts. I have used them as a border at the top and bottom of the card, raising them up on foam pads to add dimension.  The rest of the card was put together with scraps of patterned paper and some flower punches.

Don't forget to leave a comment on Emma's post from the 20th Jan for a chance to win some, you have until the end of the week...

A packet of the Flutterbys from American Crafts came fluttering my way last week and I couldn't wait to add them to a layout of my DD (this is one of my favourite photos of her when she was little). I decided to add some glitter to the edges of each butterfly and then attached each one separately with a glue dot behind so they stayed securely in place. The papers are from Fancy Pants Love Story. I cut the heart envelope on my Craft Robo using a file from the Silhouette store.

The flowers were die-cut from plain white card using a Tim Holtz die and then spritzed with several different glimmer mists, scrunched up and when dry I layered them up and finished with more glitter.

Don't forget the draw for a packet of Flutterbys on the post below, just become a follower of the blog if you're not already and then add your comment with your suggestion of a design you'd like to see.....

COMPETITION TIME

Yay - it's Friday and we thought we would have some fun and offer our blog followers the chance to win a fabulous prize. In fact, we like Fridays and we like prizes an awful lot so we will be making this a regular thing.

To be in with a chance of winning, simply take a look at the new designs of American Craft Flutterbys in the Gotta Craft shop and tell us which shape of Flutterby or bunting message you would design if American Crafts called you up right now and asked for an idea to add to their range.

You can be as wacky or creative as you like and we will pick a winner at random in 2 weeks time and announce their name here on the blog.

All that we ask is you follow our blog if you'd like to enter. If you don't follow Gotta Craft already, you can do so simply by clicking on the button to the left. And the prize?

........... well a pack of the gorgeous new AMERICAN CRAFTS FLUTTERBYS of course :)

We look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Take a look and see how those clever people at American Crafts have used them, on these lovely layouts .
