Awhile ago, my friend Sarah from Prairie Perch asked me to do a butterfly project for her little girl's room. She brought me the frame & a pillow sham that had the colours she wanted me to use. I finally got to it this weekend. Here's what I came up with:
I used my Cricut to cut the butterflies. The butterflies originally had antennas on them,
but it looked too busy with the layers so I trimmed them off.
I used mostly paper from My Mind's Eye with a little Echo Park mixed in.

I can't wait to see it in her little girl's room! I'm sure she'll be sharing the space when she gets everything in place.
When she does, I'll link up, so you can all see too.
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Steph! The butterflies look awesome. Yay! Can't wait to get it up in Avery's room. You did a fantastic job, my friend! XO
ReplyDeleteJust Beautiful, those colours are great and I agree with Brenda the pins are an adorable touch, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Stephanie! I've seen butterfly shapes used in specimen art before, but never layered so beautifully. The pins are a great touch.
