Bloomin' Heart Butterfly

From Heart to Butterfly with love

My sister is not very well at the moment and I thought I would make her a something different to what I usually do for her this year, even though due to her being unwell she didn't get it on time as on her birthday she wasn't up to seeing anyone.  So she got it a few days late along with a bottle of Bailey's that always goes down well.

I had been with my lovely up line Peg, not long before making the card and we made a card like this one and so I tried it again at home and I must admit my sister really liked it.

Been really busy of late and so not blogging as often as I'd like but will try and get back into it I have a lot of cards to put up it's just finding the time to do it.

Take care and hope you have a lovely day. 

The materials used are:

Inks: So Saffron, Wild Wasabi

Card stock: Glitter (NSU), Shimmery White

Card base: NSU

Stamps: Creative Elements (retired), Sassy Salutations

Framelits: Bold Butterfly

Thinlits: Bloomin’ Heart

DVS: Botanical Gardens (SAB 16)

Accessories: Pearls (NSU), Sequin Trim

Added a creative element stamp to give the butterfly a bit of depth as I felt it needed a little something behind it. Card CASed from my lovely up line Peg, thank you for all your inspiration.

Will be back again soon with more cards

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

Today's card I made some time ago for my Aunt, she just loves butterflies. I think a saw a similar one on Pinterest but don't know who did it.

Again I'm using lots of old stock (I don't like to just leave it on the shelf, what about you?) but there are plenty of new colours etc that would be perfect for it.

I made some really up to date, beautiful butterfly cards the other day with my friend Peg, so will show you them, some time soon. Until then take care and happy crafting.

Inks: Wild wasabi, Wisteria wonder

butterflies meets decorative dots

Hello there, so glad you dropped by

Not feeling too well today as had a root filling in one of my back teeth yesterday and now in more pain than I had before, but hopefully will feel better once the pain has gone (thank God for Ibuprofen). 

This is a birthday card I did for my upline Peg, I got the idea from the Internet but not sure where, so if it's one of yours please let me know so I can give you the credit.  I have since seen a great video on giving the butterfly a marble effect and I will let you who's blog that's on when I create a card using the technique. Still behind and still busy but keep crafting when I can.  

It was sad to see the blendabilities go but I kept mine as l like using them (used on the pearls). 

Happy crafting
