Crafty Pad # 22 ~ Shine

Its Crafty Pad time again!

This week we are looking for you to

shine!

As in sunshine, shiny cards, metallic or glitter

You may use any stamp,
any embellishments/ribbons/brads etc. :)

If you use a Crafty Pad stamp your
name will be entered twice for the prize.:) :)

If you DO NOT use a Crafty Pad stamp
then your name will be entered once for the prize. :)

The prize is any single Crafty Pad you would like.

So this week all the Crafty Pad team
are all using the Butterfly set.

I have made a sun catcher.
Not the easiest thing to try to photograph though!



I started with felt flowers,
added orange sequins on both sides
to each petal & an orange button to the centre


Beads were knotted on along the fishing line,
I really must ask my dad, how to tie better knots
on fishing line so they look neater!

Using stayzon to stamp the large butterfly
onto acetate and coloured using glass markers.
I used stickels and liquid pearls


It ended up with a nice crackly effect against the sun


I hung a butterfly charm at the bottom
this helps add weight to the sun catcher
and helps it hang straighter.


I hope you come on over & see
what the lovely DT girls have made,
including Pascale who joins us as our guest DT.

Fancy joining in with us this week?
Have you seen Crafty Pad has a sale on too?

Wow and wow again Teen - what a fabby suncatcher and such a neat idea..well done. ;) I love it and think it will look amazing hanging in front of the window. ;)
Thanks for yet another beautiful DT piece. :)

By the way you asked if my butterflies were stamped and coloured? No they were simply stamped onto colured paper and a wee touch of glitter added. :)
