Thank you SEW much card and Butterfly semi precious chip bracelet

By sparklingblackrose
Good morning everyone, hope you are well :-) I am here with a special card for a friend and some jewellery I have made too :-) 
I will start with my card-I used Papermania Sew Lovely collection from a docrafts goody bag, printable canvas and buttons.
I started by printing a photo of a tropical butterfly that I took last year onto canvas-to bring texture to the sewing themed card. I created a sketch to show off my favourite papers from the set, then I drew stitches onto the papers and the canvas image. I added a sentiment at the top corner, then added buttons and a pleated wheel embellishment in the opposite corner to the sentiment.
Next I decorated the inside of my card with matching papers, and placed a die cut circle of white cardstock inside for me to write my message.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar Challenge: Things with Wings
Fairytale Challenge: Butterflies
Simply Create Too: No stamped images or digis
Sister Act Card Challenge: Anything Goes
Wags 'n Whiskers: Lots of Layers
Crafting from the Heart: Anything Goes
As you like it Challenge: Favourite Style of Stitching and Why
Paper Crafting Journey: For that Special Lady
Next is this butterfly semi precious memory wire chip bracelet. I used memory wire, semi precious chips of Quartz, Adventurine, Tigers Eye, Sodalite, Rose Quartz, Amethyst and Carnelian. Between each length of coloured chips I placed a silver bead. At the end of my bracelet I finished it with a loop and added a butterfly charm.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Anything but a Card: Spring forward
Challenges 4 Everybody: Anything Goes

    I love both your projects - they look fab.
    Would you believe it but I made a card with some items from the Sew Lovely elements from a docrafts goody bag myself last night, and on my lap tray at the moment I've got several tubs of different semi-precious stone chips and some memory wire, ready to make a bracelet with while watching TV tonight. I hope it turns out looking as nice as yours.

Crafty Ribbons/Fiskars LED canvas

By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well. I am here to share a backlit canvas using my Fiskars tools in a rather unusual way. I took the canvas off from the frame and folded it in half to randomly punch across the front of the canvas. I kept the cuttings for later. I then stapled the canvas back onto the frame. Next I stapled muslin fabric across the front of the canvas. I then added Clermont Cotton Lace across the bottom of the canvas as a border. I then got out my flexmarkers and coloured the punched canvas pieces in three complimentary colours. I then asked tiny gems to the centre of each and glued them randomly like flowers across the muslin fabric.

Thank you for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

Alkaline Trio lyrics mixed media canvas

By sparklingblackrose
I am here to show you a canvas I created using printable cotton, cotton batting, plastic vintage style frame, acrylic paints, die cut foam, metal embellishments, glitters, texture pastes and nail caviar. The lyric fabric I created in a craft program then printed onto cotton, and placed in the frame after I had stuffed the frame with cotton batting.
