Shabby Chic Butterfly Tussy Mussy


Hello everyone, I wasn't planning on posting today, but I just finished this super FUN Shabby Chic Tussy Mussy made with a Toilet Paper Roll.


For my Tussy Mussy today, I used these 
SUPPLIES:
Prima/Sun Kiss Design Paper
Flowers
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Mini Pom Pom Trim, Sheer Box Pleats, Blue Seam Binding
Creative Inspiration Paints/Deliquesce Gold Crystal(on edges of butterfly)
Fringe
Feather
Pearls(for butterfly)


I started by covering my toilet paper roll with a 4 x 6 piece of Prima dp, using Scor-Tape to attach as I go. To close the bottom, I used hot glue, and held it until it was dry. Next I distressed the edges of the design paper with Tim Holtz Distressed ink Antique Linen. 

Now we are ready to decorate-
1st I added with HOT GLUE the fringe to the bottom of my tussy mussy. Next I added Mini Pom Pom Trim in white to the top. I always do a trial layout to see how I want everything before I actually glue any items down. So I started with my feather, then bunched up some box pleated trim and glued it on top of the feather. Next I added my large flower, and then added the leaves underneath it. After that I added the small flower, and butters to the centers. then added the stick pin.

Butterfly-
My butterfly was cut using white card stock with a CottageCutz die listed in supplies above. I cut 2 of the same butterfly to layer.
Then I decided I wanted to airbrush them with the copic airbrushing system, and these colors
YR31 is the yellow
B34
B93
I used a small foam circle to attach them on top of one another, and then added the pearls. Lastly for the butterfly I added some glue around the edges of the wings, and then added CIP's Deliquesce Gold Crystal Glitter. LOVE the look it gives to the butterfly and in person its beautiful.

So beautiful Cheryl!!! I adore how you airbrushed the butterfly die-cut - everything looks so pretty. It is amazing what you can recycle around the house and turn a toilet roll into 'this' - how awesome.
