Adventure Bound Butterfly card

Hi Everyone,

Its been another busy Thursday starting off very early today for my youngest to catch a ride at 7am to an interschool Netball carnival.  Our girls were a junior team up against older and more experienced senior teams, so you can imagine, it didn't end well, but they did gain valuable experience.  I then had to come back home to pick up my older daughter, run her to school then have my Physio appointment for my ongoing shoulder problem, have a short stint at home before picking up eldest again who has a short day at school on Thursdays and then back again at the end of the school day for the youngest.  Always on the run, lol.

It was a wonder I got anything done here today, but I have been trying because I have a small card class at home here tomorrow.  Thank goodness I had a card already prepared for today's post.   Come and have a look.




I've used the Adventure bound wood panel paper from the stack on a Strawberry Slush card base and added a layered butterfly on top cut with the Butterfly framelits consisting of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Basic Grey card and Whisper White card stamped with a Butterfly from the Butterfly Basics stamp set with Rose Red ink.  Its been finished off with a Metal rimmed pearl.  Here is the full view of my card below.



I've added a birthday greeting from the Vintage Well Scripted stamp set punched with the Extra large Oval punch.   This was a very clean and easy card, quite quick to make, but so effective.  I always think the layered butterflies add such a Wow to any card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day.

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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
