Birthday Butterflies

 

Today was my last day of holidays and I was determined to make another card with some more of my new toys.

I used the brilliant sketch at Freshly Made Sketches again. I have only just made their deadline, but I loved it so much I wanted to try it again.  Thanks for a great sketch Lesley, I’m sure it is one I will use often.

I am also entering this card into the challenge at The Paper Players this week.  It is a Clean and Simple challenge to use animals or plants and I’ve used both!

My Razzleberry Foliage card got a “Cut Above Award” from The Paper Players last week.  It was a real honour to have been chosen. Thanks so much for all your kind comments :)

I used the emboss resist technique again on this card with Pool Party ink and I white embossed the flower from Just Believe.  The butterflies were stamped onto pool party and so saffron card using stazon and then cut out.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : perfectly penned, kindness matters, just believe

Card : pool party, white, crumb cake, so saffron

Ink : stazon, versamark, pool party, crumb cake

Other : square punch, glue dots, white embossing powder

 

This card is using more of my new birthday goodies.  Didn’t I do well this year!  My daughter bought me the butterfly which is from a set called Kindness Matters.  I already own a lot of butterflies, because I love them, but this one is my new favourite :)

The Perfectly Penned was actually a present I bought for myself, because, well, I just had to have it :)
