Team Princess ~ Strawberry Shortcake Butterfly

Team Princess is up this week with a cute butterfly card.


This butterfly is made from the Strawberry Shortcake file and can be found under vintage TV shows or by following this link, http://www.scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/item_14/Strawberry-Shortcake.htm


The key to this week’s project was to create a card with this butterfly, however, the card must have dimensions included.

This is what I decided to do with the butterfly file.  I always like to add my own twist to any paper piecing project that I do, and this file was no different.   I knew I wanted my butterfly to be pink and green, so I dug through my scrap stack until I found the two colors that I wanted.  I cut four pieces for the wings and on for each of the body parts.  I then carefully inked the edges of all of my peices, and ran the wings through the Cuddle Bug to add the polka-dot patterns to add a pattern to her wings.  I also like to give my paper piecings their own faces, so I used parts of the file and then add my own touch. I did not like the flower for her nose, so I simply used my hole punch and punched out a dot.  Gel pens completed the smile for the butterfly.  I then completed the butterfly by adding flowers on the wings and a cute little bow on the top of her head.

I did not want the little butterfly to be all alone on the front of the card, so I added a Toad Stool to keep her company!
