who are offering a prize of two collage sheets from their store to our lucky winner.
I made an 8" (20cm) birthday card for a lovely family member.
I loved the bright, cheerful colours in this image and knew it would work perfectly with G45's Flight of Fancy papers. I used the 12" (30cm) paper set and chose two of the papers for the card, one for the base and the other as a panel across the card. The papers are matted on blue and reddish pink backing papers also from Flights of Fancy.
This image is from the Frida Kahlo printable collage sheet from our sponsor, which has gorgeous images showing Frida as a child, teen and adult. I chose the butterfly image to match with my papers and matted it onto blue paper. I tucked some ribbon loops behind the image before sticking it in place.
I added a trio of butterflies from the Flights of Fancy ephemera set with foam pads to the card. I matted a thin border from the papers behind the butterflies. I matted a second thin border to go across the top of the card.
I printed the sentiment on my computer and added some blue gems. I finished the card with a simple ribbon bow.
