Our Creative Corner Challenge

Our Creative Corner has a fun challenge this week.  If you like denim it might be something you'd like to try.

The "recipe" requires 3 buttons or brads, 3 ribbons or twine accents, and some real or fake denim.  I have an old pair of jeans that I've been making little purses out of for some tiny friends of mine.  My husband can't believe little girls need purses.  He was amazed that even a 4 year old can insist on carrying a bag full of junk she doesn't really need.  (lol)  The jeans came in handy again for this project.  I used my Sizzix die for the butterfly and also for the primitive hearts.  They cut right through those jeans like buttah, as we say here.  I made the roses with Tim's Tattered Pinecone die.
After assembling all of the components it comes together quickly.  I cut the blue floral paper, 4"x6", first.  I sewed the strip of lace across the bottom with the 3 hearts and then sewed the denim butterfly above that.    I glued the flowers in the centers of the hearts with Glossy Accents.  The butterfly's body is made of rolled paper.  I used the words by Authentique to say "play, sing, dance" and glued 3 tiny buttons on the right side.  The baker's twine is grey and white and I tied it into 3 bows, two for the butterfly's body and one over the words.  The stitching around the floral paper is done with a grey pen.  The entire panel is glued to a pink piece of cardstock and all of that is glued to a 5"x7" white blank card.
