Today's challenge at 365Cards is about using NEON colours. After a search in my stash, I found some old acrylic yarn lying around and also a flower loom. The loom was my Mom's n I didn't know how to make flowers with it.
Anyhow I tried n tried and got something that looks a bit like a flower, but it was not good enough to include in my card. Then I got this great idea. Why not fold the flower in half and make it look like a butterfly? So I made one, n also a flower which does look like a flower :)
This is my butterfly
and flower...
Together...
And finally, here's my card.
I used black cardstock, as I found it highlights the NEON colours. The sentiment is handwritten.
