Making a card - Zva Style -

I know it is not Monday but i thought as it was the Zva blog hop i would do it today...so ....Time for another card...done using Zva pearls!!!

I wanted to make the card have three circular windows...i found the centre of the card and drew out my first circle...

i then used that one to measure where the other three should go...



i then cut them out with a craft knife...and ended up with this...



I then used my cuttlebug to cut out 3 scalloped circles...
I then cut a circle out the middle so i was just left with the outside rim...and then adhered them around the cut out circles.

As shown in the photo above i punched out a small scalloped circle and then punched out a slighter bigger on and put it underneath..I did that in the middle of all the holes...i used these foam dots to stick them down...

I love them!!! they are not to thick so they only raise stuff up a little bit, perfect for what i wanted!!!

I then cut out a butterfly...

i then added three cream pearls to the centre doing down in size with the biggest one on the top...



I wanted to have the butterfly with a trail...but all the swirls i had where to big, so i cut off part of one...
i then adhered it to a piece of transparency...enough so i could adhere a bit of it to the back of the butterfly to attach it...


and placed it in the centre circle...I glued it to the front of the card not to the circle in the middle or the card will not open!!! ( yep i am the idiot that did that first!!! lol)


I then moved onto the other circles...the top and the bottom one are the same...
i punched out some flowers...and a small circle


and layered them on top of each other... i then added a brown pearl from the same packet for the centre part...

I then used puff paint and added some dots onto the petals of the flower...



I did this to the top and the bottom.

I then tied some string around the middle of the bottom two circles...i made a tag out of a Cuttlebug die...


i added a line of the smaller pearls for decoration...and we are done...





and here is the inside...

Adorable card! I love the idea of layering shapes on top of the windows, instead of just an open space.
