Beautiful Butterflies in Landscape

Hello Everyone,

Another gorgeous Spring day here on the Sunshine Coast today, wasn't it.  Its great weather if you like the Sunshine and don't mind  a sneaky cool breeze.  I paid another visit to the hairdresser this morning to take care of those pesky greys again.  I love the colours they use in my hair.  (photo at the bottom of this post, though not a good one...lol).

Today's card features the Vintage die Beautiful Butterflies for a layered butterfly combined with Beautiful Wings embosslit.  I've made a card like this before in different colours.  My daughter requested I made a purple one for a friend of hers, so its seems I am not alone in my love of purple butterfly cards.  Have a closer look at the layers in this one.



The largest butterfly is a layer of Whisper White card and patterned paper from the Fresh Prints stack, then we have Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder.  The background Whisper white card is embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  The only stamping is the greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set.  Full view of the card is below.


The cardstock used is Wisteria Wonder, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant.  I've used the Deco Label and Oval collection framelits to create a frame for my butterfly which I've finished with some sequins for the body.  Its a sweet card with lots of texture.

Thanks for calling in today.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.


P.S.      As promised, pic of my hair colour.


 I needed to get out in the sun for it to be seen properly.  Pls don't look at the old girl wrinkles...lol.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
