BUTTERFLY CHALLNGE 38 Y IS YARN

Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends,
and visitors.
I am still having a few probs with my internet,
 and it's driving me mad when I try and comment.
This seems to be an intermittent fault so lets hope
it gets sorted soon.
Anyway I do hope you are all enjoying your 
weekend, and the weather is being kind to you.

Today I have a card I made especially for the 
Butterfly Challenge.
The letter involved with this challenge is Y for
Yarn so here is my entry.

  

This is a 6"x6" easel card.
The shaped card was one I bought many moons
ago from Kanban.
I glued 2 together to make it sturdy for an easel.
I then covered it with paper.
I used a snippet of card, and silver yarn to 
create the design, so I'm off to the snippets playground to join my playground pals  as well.
Butterflies were bought for me by my sister.

Thank you for your visit, and the wonderful
comments you make.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY. 

I would like to enter this into the following
challenges.

    WOW! The colors on the butterflies are gorgeous and so iridescent. Love the spirelli effect that covered the 'yarn' part of the challenge, and again - more sparkle. It's a brilliant design, and just a beautiful card. Love the easel shape. Good luck with the internet problems...so aggravating when you're playing catchup. I missed 2 days (housework...ugh!) so this afternoon is catchup again for me! Take care, and TFS such a marvelous card. Hugs

    Your yarn weaving looks just like a spiders web and the coloured thread is perfect to help created the effect. Love the gorgeous vibrant purple along with the butterflies. Thankyou for fluttering by #38. hugs Mrs A.

    This is a gorgeous card. Beautitful design and such a perfect idea for the winding of that glimmery thread. Great idea to strengthen the card base by glueing two together.
