A Butterfly Trapeze

 Good Morning

My card for today is a birthday card I sent my lovely blogging friend Edna last month:

I wanted to make something a bit different so decided to make a trapeze card.  I embossed the outer card with a Sizzix embossing folder and added seed beads for extra detail.  The butterly in the centre is decoupaged.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge - Going round in circles

Creative Craft Challenges - Stitching

Flutterby Wednesday - Use a butterfly, angel or fairy

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Trapeze Cards

Good Morning

I decided to unearth my trapeze templates this weekend, I haven't made any of this style cards for a while. I love the effect of them, but they are very time-consuming. I got the templates and instructions some time ago. The templates are by Marianne, but unfortunately the instructions are not very clear so the stitching is a bit 'trial and error'.


They're not the easiest to photograph either, so I hope you get the idea!

This teddy card was made using gold metallic thread with some sequins added to some of the threads. This gorgeous teddy was in a pack of embellishments that I've had for ages.


This card was stitched using a pearlescent thread which catches the light beautifully. Beads were again added to some of the threads and then added to the outer frame too. Some mulberry leaves and flowers were added to the centre, and a butterfly sticker put on some acetate to make it more dimensional.

I'm trying to come up with some different style cards for Mothers' Day!

Have a lovely day.
