Here is the base card which needs decorating. The challenge is to see how you lovely ladies (and gents) would do that.

Monthly Challenge came about, just at the right time. For me crafting is like writer's block, the Challenge push started the inspiration flowing, to get me over my crafting block.

I have to say that I had a few problems with the cutting of the lift up petals. It was fine when I tested the pattern out with a pen beforehand, but when I came to cutting it out, the stuttering meant that each petal group took 5 mins to cut. I looked for help and found a thread that said I should reduce the node count, this improved the speed of the cutting by 60%! It still stutters at the top of the heart though, but as you can see it cuts well.

Another 3 layered topper, this time designed to use the pen option to write the greeting on the top layer. It could of course be left blank ready to rubber stamp and heat emboss or add your own cut out text, peel off greeting etc. :)

The black layer cut well from paper but care was needed lifting it from the carrier sheet, and I bent a couple of the antennae whilst removing the ‘confetti’ from the wing patterns, :angry: but then, I am a bit heavy handed at times. :rolleyes: I would recommend using thinnish card (approx. 180gsm) as this gave me the best results :unsure:

Hope it is useful to someone.

I have attached a screenshot too, as the picture of the made up card does not show the butterfly up very well!

I have just finsihed this and thought you would like it. I hope all of you have tools to pick out the holes :lol::lol: It's taken me ages to do it and I have bits everywhere on the floor.
I think it looks quite fancy and won't need much decoration.
Personal use only please.

Another for you......... I have layered the topper as such and put 3d foam behind it to make it stick out a bit.

Hope you can use... Sorry picture not that great the sun is shinning so brightly here :D

I've never done a challenge before, so I thought it was about time. This is just a simple edged card using the free ding 'caslon ornaments'.
