Butterfly Dreams

Good Afternoon everyone.  Firstly I would like to say a big Thank You  for all of your good wishes recently.  I am beginning to feel a lot better and the dizzy spells are nowhere near as bad as they have been. 

So, on to today's card.  It's Less is More time again and this week the challenge is Cut it Out - to make an aperture or some kind of hole on our cards.  I used an octagonal nestie for mine and also my Marianne Creatables gorgeous Butterfly Die.  I started by cutting out a white butterfly and then I got out my craft iron to melt some Angelina Fibres together and cut a second butterfly from this.  I used wet glue to stick the two butterflies together and then my quickie glue pen to attach the wings of  the base to my card.  The picture doesn't show it very well but the fibre butterfly really sparkles in real life.  The sentiment is computer generated and printed directly onto the card.

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you like my card.

Bah Humbug!

Good Afternoon from a gloriously sunny Shetland, it was raining this morning, but now there isn't a cloud in the sky. Hopefully, I am going to sit outside with my book for an hour after I have finished this post.  The ladies of Humbug Hall have asked us all to Go Green this week - Recycling or Shades of Green.  I have managed a bit of both a fair bit of green and the buttons are recycled from my good neighbour's fabulous button box.  She has been recycling buttons since well before recycling was even though of.  The ribbon is also recycled, sorry the buttons don't show up very well in the pic.  I have also followed this week's sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday

The image is a Judikins stamp, the bp is from an old Papermania Christmas pad, the coloured cs is from my scraps box, the flower is a Marianne Creatable Poinsettia and the sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for your visit and the lovely comments you have been leaving me.

Less is More

Good Afternoon, my card today is for the challenge over at Less is More which is White on White.  I have used white linen finish card, Cuttlebug Daisy embossing folder, Marianne frame and butterfly, the sentiment printed directly from the pc and three crystal gems from my stash.  Although I have have had the butterfly for over a year and the frame for a couple of months this is the first time they have been used, sound familiar to anyone lol.

I hope you are all having a good Sunday, I am off with my laptop to sit in front of the tele to watch Fiddler on the Roof and do a bit of blogging.

Oranges and Lemon

Good Morning. It's a beautiful morning here, blue sky and sunshine with just a few clouds dotted around.  Hope it lasts.

My card today is for two Challenges - Sketch and Stash No35 and Ooh La La Creations 'Bright and Cheerful'.
The image is from Clarity, stamped in Versamark and dusted with copper mica powder, the papers are Cuddly Buddly, sentiment computer generated, leaves Marianne Creatable, flower,  ribbon and gems from my stash.

For Sketch and Stash, the new elements are  the Clarity stamp and mica powder.  The neglected is the orange ribbon, which I think came as a magazine cover gift ages ago.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for stopping by and leaving me such great comments.
