At Easter my daughter told me that she didn't want any chocolate, strange woman, so I altered a notebook and clipboard and made a post it note holder for her. I took the covers of the notebook and covered them with some pretty pink paper that was free with issue 3 of the Simply Homemade magazine. I went round the edges with vintage photo Distress ink. I used coffee Archival ink to stamp the background and the main butterfly image. I put some butterfly tissue tape on the cover and then matted some corrugated card and the image.
I was in a swap last year on KCUK and Chris the lady I swapped with made me a lovely post it note holder so I coppied how she made hers. I covered some mountboard with the paper then I stamped the main image onto card and cut them out individually and attatched them to the cover.
I painted the clipboard with some pink emulsion paint then stamped the background images with vintage photo Distress ink then I put a couple of strips of butterfly tissue tape on it. I attached a piece of stamped paper across the board. The main images were stamped with coffee Archival ink and then attached to the board. I also decorated the other side but didn't take a photo.All the stamps that I used are of the Stampers Anonymous Papillon set.
So beautiful, love the colours and the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI love this project Hazel - and I bet your daughter was thrilled with it. I felt the same as your daughter - not that I didn't want chocolate but my waist line certainly didn't need it!
ReplyDeleteLovely !!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Hazel, the shades of pink you have used, the Vintage DI, the images - everything! I just love it and if you ever want another daughter (I can pretend to be young) I am up for it - and I would even give up chocolate.
Take care - Hugs, Neet x
They're all fabulous! Lucky Lizzie! xx
