Butterfly Wishes

Hello again

Two posts in one day, whatever is the world coming to!

This is my second entry into the current Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge and my third and final entry into the Creative Crafting World Blog Challenge:

I followed the sketch once again, this time replacing one of the circles with a butterfly to tie-in with the papers I used.

I used Lynda Chapman's white card from Creative Crafting World to create my card blank, and used papers and a topper from the Paper Boutique Butterfly Garden also from Creative Crafting World.  The dies I used were from Spellbinders, Tonic and Crafters' Companion, and the white pearls are also from Crafters' Companion and the pink are Anita's.

Wild At HeART

Hello

I hope those Mothers' among us have had a lovely day today.  My girls have made sure my day has been special, I am very lucky.  I miss my mum terribly, but know she will always be with me.

Thursday night I couldn't sleep at all, so made a card using products from Creative Crafting World and following the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

The main image and backing papers were bought from Create & Craft recently,  They were bought as a die-cut medley and backing paper medley.  I believe the image is from the Wild at HeART collection, but don't know which collections the backing papers were from.  I thought they picked colours out of the main image, and the the green paper worked really well too.  The card for the mats and layers are various shades of browns from my stash, cut using circle and scalloped circle dies.  The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley and the orange gems from Create & Craft.  I used white card from Creative Crafting World to make the base card.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

In The Wild

Hello and Welcome to my blog today.

Thank you to everyone who left me such lovely messages on my last post.  They mean a lot to me.  At times I find crafting whilst listening to music to be a good distraction, and I found this to be the case today when I needed to make some cards.  This is one of the cards I made which fits in perfectly with the new challenge over at CD Sunday, which this challenge has a theme of 'In the Wild'.

Anyone who has any of Pollyanna Pickerings cd's from Creative Crafting World will be very well equipped to join in with this challenge.  For my card I used the very latest Polly Pickering release - British Wild At HeART:

The image and backing paper used on the front of my card were from the Papercraft Kit that came with the cd-rom.  The die cut frame and sentiment, along with the flowers and leaves are all Paper Boutique dies from Creative Crafting World and I cannot recommend them highly enough.  They all cut like a dream, and even when using the thickest of cards, only require 2 passes through my die-cutting machine, on most occasions, they cut with just one pass.  The card I used was from PaperMill and Lynda Chapman's world of paper.  The gems were from Joanna Sheen.

The cd element of my card is the insert, which was printed from the British Wild at Heart cd-rom:

The inserts come in lots of different sizes and are text-editable.

I would also like to enter my card in the new Creative Crafting World Blog challenge which this time has a theme of 'Anything Goes'.
