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.

Butterflies Galore!

Good Morning

A very warm welcome to my blog.

My card today is for entry into the current Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge which has a theme of beautiful borders.  Here is my card:

I think you'd be hard pushed to get a more beautiful border than this Butterflies Flying Among The Vines Mesh Border (B401) from Cheery Lynn Designs.  I can't resist butterflies and have used just a few of my collection to make this card.

I used Centura Pearl Card to make an 8 x 8 card blank, which I then embossed with the Spellbinders A4 Garden Lattice embossing folder.  I cut the Polynesian Sails Oval from Centura Pearl White with a hint of gold, and cut the Polynesian Sails Angel Wings from Centura Pearl Teal.  I used a Tonic die to cut the butterfly and flower in the centre of the doily and cut a small butterfly for the top corner, to which I added a small white pearl.  The flower in the other corner was cut using a die that came free in a magazine, and once again I added a white pearl to the centre.

I'd love to know what you think of my card.
