I thought I would create something colourful and interesting to look at. I started with the butterfly cross-stitch I completed the other day. I added a border of running stitch and a lovely shell button.
I collect together a variety of pretty craft papers...
And a postcard and other bits and pieces of embellishments.
I had an old photo frame - cheap and not very exciting, definitely in need of some recycling.
So I painted it a lovely light green colour and gave it a light sanding down to give it a distressed look.

Put it all together with the help of some bright washi tape, and there you have it.

A lovely display to brighten up the room.
Hello, I am new to your blog, but just wanted to say how pretty this looks and what great use it makes of your butterfly as it is a lovely display! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, and welcome. So glad you like the collage, it was fun to put together. I've just had a quick look at your blog and it looks very interesting. I'll have a good read of your posts later on when I have my tea break.
DeleteWhat a truly beautiful creation it would look lovely on the wall.
