Good morning! If you need a creative challenge, why not head over to Crafty Creations, where this week's challenge is to use butterflies on your project. The great thing about this blog is that it doesn't have to be a paper craft, it can be any type of craft. And the prize this week is awesome - it's a beautiful, hand crafted bracelet from Shooting Star Jewelry.
Here's the butterfly project I made for the challenge - a wreath of daisies with butterflies.
Both the daisies and butterflies are die cuts available from Stampin' Up! -Daisies #2 and Beautiful Butterflies. The wreath base is made of wood and the flowers are attached with lots of sticky strip and dimensionals.
The die-cut butterflies were covered with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me.
Enjoy your day!
All supplies are Stampin' Up!

I just have to chime in to agree -- this is fantastic! Best use of the corduroy buttons I have seen to date.

This is beautiful. Where did you get the wooden base? I put your SCS gallery in my special SCS galleries folder months and months ago and I've been cleaning it out and I am overwhelmed with this beautiful wreath. Thanks for blessing my day.
