When I saw this:

http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/2008/02/weekend-creat-2.html

I knew I HAD to make it!







Most of the paper is from an old IKEA catalogue, some bright post-it notes, aluminum foil (heehee), junk mail, some coloured card, glitter glued paper and one coloured in with a gel pen. Hehe, the glitter glue one seems to have warped a little, I have to press it under a book or two to flatten it out, wouldn't do to have to it fly off the page! Punching the shapes out of the IKEA catalogue was a pain because the paper was so flimsy, so i just used printer paper underneath so give it more ... "body." I didn't have foam dots, so I used foam tape which I cut into itty bitty bits. Loads of fun, and perfect way to use scrap paper. I LAHV it!

I have the perfect frame for it, but the paper (A4 black card) is too small, so I will have to figure out a border that will enhance it. Will put up finished frame in a few hours  Smiley

That is lovely. Such a simple but clever idea. I so need to make one to hang in my bedroom.

Thankyou soo much for the compliments! The hardest bit for me was what colours to choose  Grin

Here's the finished product, I found a cardboard "frame" thingy that I had saved from another frame and cut to size. I'm not too sure about it, maybe I'll change it:

This is the punch I used, it's by Craft Too. Since there a extra bit of pointiness to the butterfly's bottom wings, it's a pain to cut with flimsy paper. I layered printer paper underneath and they popped out might fine. Ali Edwards used a Martha Stewart punch, but I liked this one, I searched and searched for the one punch that I would love. And they have about a 2.2 wingspan. The sheet is A4 size black card.
