Look Around and See

Hi There!!! How is it going today!!

It's June 1 and I am shocked. I must have slept thru a few months. LOL 

Summer is here and the temps are pretty warm in my area.

Since it's the first of the month, it's time for the June Craft-Dee BowZ challenge

The challenge runs the whole month so you have time to get your submission in.

The theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow

The sponsor for June is Bugaboo. 

Challenge Prize - 4 free images

Let me share my project with you.

The Butterfly and the sentiment are from Bugaboo and are together in the Beauty Butterfly  

What a pretty duo!!

For the background, I used Heidi Swapp  12 X 12  sheets that are ready to be foiled and I used a rose-colored foil. However, I find it very difficult to photograph foiled images. You might be able to see a little of the rose foiling in the center on that large flower. The foiling looks great in person.

The butterfly is a Bugaboo image and I fussy cut it out,
colored it and added a few glitter stickers to the wings.

The sentiment was cut using a pinked circle die

My bow - well it is a triple loop bow and I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make it. 

I used a sheer ribbon - my favorite ribbon to make a bow.

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool is so easy to use and is lightweight and portable

Hope you can join in the fun 

In the meantime let me share my Craft-Dee BowZ inspiration project 

For the background on this card, I used a Cover a Card stamp from Impression Obsession. I stamped it with VersaMark and used clear EP and heat set it. OK so that's not a big deal, right? Well after I did that, I used foil on the embossed image with the use of my laminating machine.
Worked like a champ.

Here is a close up of  my multi-loop bow.

That bow is so easy to make with the Craft-Dee BowZ tool

This great tool is all you need to make  a bow. 

A bow for your card, for your scrapbook, for a gift, for a ..... you know for lots of different things.
