More Precious Butterflies

By
I'm really falling in love with this set - today I have made a card with the flourish stamped in the centre to make a wreath shape - take a look


To hide where the flourish met in the middle I stamped the ring of butterflies and cut it out, I then raised it on some 3D foam pads. Some of the butterflies were stamped directly on to the card but the larger ones were stamped and cut out, I also blinged them up with a few crystal gems. My son has just informed me that this is one of his favourite cards that I have made - an explosion of colour are his exact words!
I think that I mentioned before that I have another Hostess set to play with - more of that tomorrow. thanks for stopping by - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
