Weren’t the “winged things” projects just darling? Here are the instructions for the two cards and for Kim Hughes’s mini book (found on pages 40 and 41 in the Spring 2009 issue).
who loves you?
by Kim Hughes, Roy, UT
instructions:
- Cut the pinking edged paper to 4.75 x 5.5 and mat onto a taupe cardstock base.
- Add a 2 x 4.75” pink polka dot piece of paper to the bottom of the card.
- Stamp sentiment and add purple glitter to the hearts.
- Wrap blue lace around the card and attach onto the backside.
- Punch circles to add on top of the owl’s eyes.
- Hand stitch a frame around the owls (straight line in purple and a zig zag in green).
- Add rhinestone and button accents to tree.
ideas to note:
- Punch 2 small brown eyes and punch 1 white circle; cut it in half and add on top of the pupils.
- Machine stitch holes (without thread) for easier hand sewing.
- Using a glue pen is best when applying glitter to small areas.
