Catching Up with June

Mom's June Yo-Yo Tulips & Butterfly

This weekend I hope to get caught up on a couple of months of cards I have made and sent to my mom but I will be happy to get just one posted.  I can't believe six months have gone by since I last put anything on the blog.  I've continued to make cards each month as I think I've mentioned before that since my mom and I live so far apart the card I create and mail to her is like a small chance to visit with her. Once the card is received, there's a phone call and then we truly catch up on one an other's life.

This card's design was made with all fabric and a few different types of beads and embroidery thread. Using WonderUnder I fused the background and attached it to the card stock.  The flower pot was rubber stamped on fabric and fused to card stock and cut out.  A slit was created in the top of the pot to place the stems of the tulips in then micro beads were glued around the stems to make it appear as if there was dirt in the pot. The tulips and butterfly were made using the Clover small heart-shaped template and for the body and antennae of the butterfly I used a strand of gold beads which I folded in the center attaching the body together with embroidery thread and letting the antennae remain loose.
