When I saw the recipe for challenge 14 on Papercraft star I thought it was difficult, but then I found a dragonfly that was lurking in my 'work in progress' box - what a joke that box is because there's things in there that have been there for ages, waiting for inspiration - anyway, it so happened that the dragonfly's tail was made of twine, so I went ahead with a card for Papercraft star 14, which specified this recipe:
Make a Card
Base: 5.5 x 5.5
Mat: 5x5
Score Mat 5 times at 1/4 inch
3 Flowers from Die Cut or Punch
3 Buttons and Twine
(You may also add a sentiment or other items as desired)
I've used the sketch for Create4fun week 38:
The papers are BG max & whiskers (I know there are no cats or dogs in sight, just a dragonfly - lol!) and I used a Crafts Too spots embossing folder - this one is square so gives more coverage than the cuttlebug swiss dots one.
The flowers were cut with a Sizzix green die flower #1 (it's a long time since I used this).
This is also for:
Pile it on 37: 'red, yellow, green and brown'

Scrappy frogs: 'flower power - make your own flowers'
Alota 43: 'DIY flower'

Crafty pad 89: 'embossing'

Sew many challenges 27: 'let's see your embossing'
Digi doodle 26: 'emboss it'
Mixed media Monday: 'buttons'
Meljen 26: 'autumn colours'
Stempel magie 19: 'autumn colours'
Cutie Sunday 110: 'fall colours'
Stampin' sisters in Christ 57: 'fall colours'
Going grey (Scrap-creations) 28: 'fall'
Creative card crew: 'autumn or fall'
Everybody art 109: 'autumn'
Paper playtime 17: 'autumn'
4 crafty chicks 4: 'celebrate fall'
Moving along with the times 65: 'to do list' - I chose 2 different patterned papers, a button (or more) and embossing
Flutter by Wednesday 123: 'any winged things'
Sisterhood of crafters: 'birthdays'
One powerful hour: 'happy birthday'
Spoon full of sugar 122: 'anything goes'
