Butterfly Card

By
I was fully prepared for my earlier post of my Pinwheel card to be the last of the day however with football clogging up one of the TV channels and nothing else worth watching I decided to do more crafting and enter a few challenges.
I dug out some precious Stampin' Up DSP and a stamp set that hasn't been used for ages and I created this


My paper is from the gorgeous Springtime Vintage collection teamed up with Whisper White and Night of Navy. The sentiment is from Flight of the Butterfly and instead of stamping my butterfly I punched it out of the paper so it would match.
OK - so there a a few challenges that my card fits into, they are
Freshly Made Sketches


Stampin' Up Only Challenges - Happy Birthday!
Flutter By Wednesday's - have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your project.
Thanks for looking - Jacqueline xx

    Making this pretty card has to be better than watching football!! reminds me I've not used this stamp set for a while - maybe I have too many??

    This is gorgeous Jacqueline. Love that paper and the butterfly is really cute.
    Your pinwheels creation is gorgeous too and sure to go down well at the class.
    I can't stand football either and there's seems to be lots on at the moment which is a real bind lol
    Hugs, Fliss xx

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
