Was watching a scrapbook DVD I got from the local bookshop the other day and this lady (Australian, by the sounds of her accent) demonstrated a few rather nifty and simple DIY scrapbook embellishments. The first being a 'flower' made out of ribbons.
Since i have quite a hefty (and very messy) stash (as pictured in earlier post & still not looking any neater!), I thought I'd try out her simple but attractive ideas, that needed very basic sewing.
Viola! My 'Just for you ...' card - or mini book cover, I haven't quite decided just yet.
Pink button in the middle was sewn to accent the flower Whilst acrylic butterflies were glued on to the background. The flower 'stem' is made out of green ric-rac - threaded in and out paper via holes made from paper puncher. Handmade green leaf and squiggled in a few leafy 'veins'. The tag is DIY - drawn and cut out from free templates got off the british 'Paper Craft Inspiration' magazine.
Mom's card looking a little more complete - thanks to suggestions. Didn't have chipboard alphabets nor tag small enough to fit in bottom of card - so made do with alternatives . Used round fancy paper punchers as mounts for 'rubbed on' font stickers. Glued on butterfly buttons on top of page.
