The butterflies have had a short break over the Christmas time but they are back ready to challenge us again - read all about it HERE. This time the letter of the alphabet is 'G'; the colours are Geranium (bright pink), Granny Smith (Green) and Gold. The theme is gingham; style of card is a 'gap' card and of course at least one butterfly. The gap card was a new one on me but luckily there is an excellent tutorial provided showing at least two ways of achieving this - the idea is to bridge a gap on the front of the card with something or other, either a large die cut word or maybe a shape of some sort. For once I've managed to include all the elements - the gingham is on the inside of the card and you can just see it peeping through the 'Happy' word. There is a die cut shape on the inside layer on which to write a message. Why not take some butterflies out of hibernation and have a go - there are prizes 😉😉
PS - you will need to look closely to read the large word which shows up much more in real life - I will maybe take a photo of the open card when the light is better

Lettering is perfect for the gap and is showing up well. Love the bold Gingham. Thankyou for coming and spinning the wheel for the first challenge of the year. Hugs Mrs A.

ReplyDeleteI like these pretty butterflies, it's good to see them back. That was a good way to use the word die. I'm still working on my gap card, it's new to me too.
