I attended a workshop for piano teachers last week. It was on the Faber Adventure Series, and if any of you use their books for piano lessons, you know how fun they are! I wanted to make a card for the presenter, Veena and used the PPA Challenge as a starting point. Now, these are all in-colors, and I only have the new colors in paper. Tip Top Taupe was an in-color from last year, and I don't have that, but I do have a specialty paper from Hobby Lobby that I thought 1) looked close and 2) was beautiful - it's sparkly.TIP: Use the precision plate with your Big Shot when using intricate dies.
Although, the first large butterfly I cut out was on the normal platform. But the nature of the specialty taupe-like paper made all the little pieces stick together (it seemed like a plastic page glued to a glitter page). Anyway, I was able to detach the large butterfly from the paper, and just left all the little pieces inside. This was my base butterfly. Then I made the pink and peach butterfly like normal and layered them all together.
Below is a list of materials I used (and some substitutions). The pictures link back to my online store. Email me with any questions!
Keep Learning, Keep Growing, Keep Sharing,
Wonderful substitution for Tip Top Taupe and it really adds depth to the butterfly! Such a pretty card, Veena will love it! Thank you for joining us this week for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge!
