Card Swap November 2016

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

The theme for the November card swap was Butterflies and Rainbows. I had no idea how I was going to stick to this theme until I saw this brilliant technique from Jennifer McGuire. I think this is the third month in a row I've used this technique, yes it is quite addictive!  Unfortunately as most people were really busy in November we decided to not to go ahead with the swap, which was good news for me as it meant I got to keep mine.

I could have adhered the large butterfly on top of the grey cardstock but I decided to do it the hard way so the butterfly was actually flush with the grey cardstock. It took ages putting all the little grey pieces into the butterfly wings, so glad I did though as I think it looks stunning. I finished it off with my wink of Stella pen to give it some sparkle.

I did have three rhinestones on both of the small butterflies I have only just noticed that one has fallen off the left hand one.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Don't forget if you don't want to miss any of my blog posts you can subscribe using the button on the right.

Double Twisted Easel Cards

Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Jillian Selwood

I love making cards that are just a little bit different so when I saw Jan Brown make the Double Twisted Easel card I knew I had to make one or six of them. Please click here to go to Jan's website.

Whilst they look very difficult to make by following Jan's expert instructions they are relatively easy. I do think I will need to enclose instructions on how to display them though as it is not that obvious.

This is what they look like closed and ready to post.

The sentiment is raised up on stampin' dimensionals to hold the easels in place.

And here is a close up of the flowers, I just love these flowers they are so life like.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time
