Its not hard to fall in love with WrMK's 'Down the Boardwalk' papers. This week I've used the same background Barnicle Paper as last weeks red one, but this time in beige. It already comes distressed, splattered and inked! I've backed the Barnicle paper with matching brown cardstock. Isnt it great that the range comes with its own contrasting cardstock! ![]() Here's how it's put together: I wanted to make this Snorkel diecut paper smaller - so I cut it into pieces! ![]() Then took out the middle section (I'll use that for something else later ![]() Here's a cost saving trick: If you are on a budget - AND you see all these beautiful butterfly embellishments but it just all adds up.... then buy a piece of paper with them on....cut them out This Authentic butterfly paper (reverse side) will cost you $1.25! Pretty inexpensive for five beautiful butterflies, and the rest you can use for other projects such as cards, tags or on LO's - both sides are gorgeous to use! ![]() Ink the edges of the butterflies and add them to the LO, along with brown bows and cream crocheted trim, cut out alpha and metal flowers (sold out)

the cut-down paper looks fantastic - what a great idea and I do love the butterflies - you are so right - we can all get a little carried away with expensive embellishments but the right piece of paper and a pair of scissors and you have created magic What is the secret to getting the wings to sit curved like that? Have you rubbed the back with a sytlus or put some foam tape under them or something like that - I really like the effect |
