This post is going to be photo heavy as I got a bit carried away with these cards. I made two the same (but different - you know what I mean!) for my Mum and my MIL for the boys to give them yesterday, Mothers Day and I liked them so much that I made two more for two birthdays coming up.
Here there are all together. It is a fabulous way of using up scraps. I have used ribbon and lace but strips of paper would work just as well. All I have done is splatter some diluted bleach across the cardstock and leave it to dry. Looks really cool and its something we all have in a cupboard somewhere. The only thing different on the birthday cards is the age added to the butterfly.
The spiral flower is simple to make also (I have a feeling you may see these fairly often) but I will admit I have just bought a die just because I am lazy!!!
Anyway, have a try with the bleach, the opportunities are endless.
Thanks for stopping by,
Take care
