Beautiful butterfly


I did this a few weeks ago and I love it!! It is my first attempt at stitching a butterfly and my first attempt at using beads - think I have worked out how to make them a bit sturdier next time :) Of course practice makes perfect and I will keep going with my stitching.


Been very busy this last week and things should slow down in the next few days - but I do have to make a card by Tuesday so I am going to have to knuckle down and do it.


Bought a load of goodies Thursday with the money my Aunty gave me - LOADS of stamps and inks - so I will probably start experimenting there too...... I have so many inspirational blogs I look at (they arent all listed on the side) I will try and do some fun stuff out of my comfort zone :)


Thankyou for visiting and have a great day :D

Hi:

How do you do this stitching design work. Is there a pattern that you lay down and paper pierce it and then stitch it or what? I have seen several of these types of cards and was wondering how you do this. Beautiful Card, I love butterflies too.
