I made some toppers for my cards a little while back when I had some free pairs of teabag tiles. So I made some butterflies.... with a stitched body because butterflies are so special they need prettiness too. Cant remember where I got the flower image - probably Dover?? Not 100% sure. Practiced using my watercolour pencils too.
Originally the white square and picture was on an orange background with blue lines as the edging and Happy Birthday on white paper with blue lined edging also a blue heart punch.... as much as I tried to love it I just couldnt.... I had started some new medication and thought maybe I was just not interested - so I put it away.
Today I still hated it - so I cut the blue background and stuck it oh so carefully over the orange and cut some 6mm strips to act as the edging. Found a few gold "flower" shaped embellishments so used one in the corner and got out my hole punch out and punched circles out of another to add stud like features. I then found my Thankyou peeloffs and decided one in each direction filled the empty spaces nicely :)
I like this one so much better!!! I will post my second recon tomorrow - I am really proud of that one.
Have a wonderful day :)
