I've finally said goodbye to my purple denim jeans. They were my favourite for years until I put on so much weight I couldn't even get them over my knees! They were the first things I got out when I started to loose weight and I was over the moon that they finally fitted. Despite being too scruffy to wear outside, they saw me through the winter indoors until there was just too much glue and ink on them from the craft room so they were relegated to the rag bag for the charity shop.
And then comes along Mrs A with her latest
Butterfly Challenge theme of Denim and Dimension. Well, out came the jeans and off with the little ticket pocket for my card.
I've added some 3D foam to the inside top of the pocket so it will stay open and the three full butterflies have 3 layers to them
I'm also entering this into the challenge at
Watercooler Wednesday (a new challenge to me) which has the theme of CAS Butterfly
Well, my jeans are well and truly rags now
Hi Kimbo, what a delightful story and a great use for your discarded purple jeans. Love the layout of your card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

ReplyDeleteDenim and Butterflies, now that's a fun combination. Thanks so much for playing along with the Watercooler Wednesday challenge this week. I love the cute and whimsical butterflies breaking loose from that pocket full of memories.

A really great card and the denim pocket looks fab. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea. I think you need yo rescue those jeans from the scrap bag. Just imagine what you could do with the zip!! Sadly I don't do Jeans but I do have a small stash of pieces from sewing projects. This card is great. I love the butterflies escaping from the pocket. Thank you for fluttering by my challenge where your card wil be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.
