A BUTTERFLY MOMENT



     Last week I went along to the Craft show at the NEC, I usually go with both my daughters but due to different commitments that could not happen this time. So my dear husband came along with me he is very patient about my love of all crafty things. It is a shame that the Art section was not there this time as he would have enjoyed that, he is quite good at art. 

      Anyway I headed off to the Clarity stand and was lucky enough to be able to join in the Make and Take. This was run by the very talented Linda Williams. I love to be able to join in with other like minded ladies.  As usual there was a nice project for us to do. I did not complete mine in the time, a little less talking might have been the answer. Still I was quite happy to get it finished at home. 

                                 
 
        I chose to colour my butterfly , it could have just been embossed. Now those little dragonflies on there were not on Linda's design but as I was sticking my finished piece to the base card it slipped and I creased the parchment a little. Well it was not going in the bin at this stage so a little cover up was needed. It had only creased on the top right hand side but I felt two dragonflies balanced it better. 



                     
                   Can you see the little crease just by the leaf on the right hand side. 


                
             A little close up of the centre portion. 

   Just shows that there is no need to scrap a project if it is not quite right. 

     After the make and take of course I needed a few items from the Clarity stand then hubby and I had a wander around all the other stands. I did not buy too much else but did find two lovely cardigans on one of the stands in the sewing section. They came home with me. 

    Plate used was the Butterfly Wreath and dragonflies were from Tina's 3D Flowers plate.

        Back soon, thank-you for visiting.  xx

  3. Great idea for covering up the OOPS Lynne. I've bookmarked your blog now so I should find it easily in the future.

  5. That's beautiful Lynne. And very nicely rescued too! It would have been a great shame to throw it away just because of that little crease. Dragonflies to the rescue. Hugs xxx
