Butterfly Queens Fan Sale and Giveaway!
Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Giveaways, Sale
)
Oh, very pretty! Design Team Member Laura Carson has turned the New and On Sale! 75 Cents Scrapbook Papers into a beautiful fan (a sort of corroded-butterflies-and-British-queens fan)! And did you you notice that the fan blades are Die-Cut Chipboard Dress Forms? Clever!
)
And in honor of the creative use of the British Queens Collage Sheets, I’ve put all 3 On Sale! (but catch ’em quick as the sale (on the collage sheets and the new scrapbook papers) ends tomorrow night! (April 12th)
I like the teal, golden tan and black palette… so much so that beyond pulling together all the part Laura used in her fan for today’s Giveaway(!) I’ve added 3 yards of seam binding that pick up the colors in the new papers:
Sea Moss
Gabardine Green and
Soapstone Beige
I also added 2 more things not used in Laura’s fan (though I could see them fitting in with the style, in case you want to make a variation yourself):
TWO Brass Crown Sets (’cause you may need extra crowns for all those queens) and
A set of the NEW Antique Ornate Frames (more info on those is below).
)
And did you notice the stand Laura’s fan is sitting in? It’s made from 2 chipboard shoes! Laura made a stand from the 18th c Woman’s Chipboard Shoes previously (and provided a tutorial) but the stands look so different from each other.
And those round frames “framing” the queens faces… they’re not metal. They’re just images from Laura’s New Whimsical Frames Collage Sheet! I think those frames would also work well as ship port holes.
So here’s a link to all of the goodies Laura used in her fan (all of which are included in the Giveaway!) And see below for links (and photos and more sale info) about other items Laura used (or just some things I think would coordinate well with the new scrapbook papers).
Don’t forget that you can click on all the photos on this page to see more info. More photos of Laura’s fan are in the Gallery. And read about Laura’s inspiration on her blog.

Antique Ornate Frames New and in the Giveaway!
And (just a happy accident), I dropped a frame when setting up the photograph and realized these frames look great paired with one of the chipboard frames from the Ornate Name Plates Set. |
