If you haven't worked with metal from 10 Second Studios, you are missing out. I love this stuff and I want it in every color :)!!! In this layout I used some of their dark blue metal sheets to make the little roses that
GabiP does over at
My Creative Scrapbook. I also did some cool looking crimped butterflies as well. Below are some close ups and more details on what I did here.
I don't want to forget to mention that this gorgeous scroll is made by Dusty Attic and you can find their products at
Stay True to God. I know she was working on her website so if you are having difficulties there, just check back.
As for these adorable little roses. The tutorial that Gabi uses is perfect for paper, but I noticed that when you work with metal you don't need as many layers. So I did the first two layers of her tutorial and then I did the centers. You will have to check out her
tutorial to know what I am talking about.
For these cute butterflies you will need an ability to cut out butterflies using a die machine of punch of some sort. You will also need a paper
crimper. I used the
Fiskars paper
crimper. I distressed the edges using a small
exacto knife and then I inked the edges with Smooch paint. The wire is easy and I just glue it down underneath the butterfly. To get the ends like these, just use a small paint brush handle and curl it around a few times. The body is made with two little rhinestones, but you can use
stickles or liquid pearls.
Thanks for stopping by and God Bless!!
