Clean and Simple Butterflies

By
As the days become longer and warmer we can expect to see hoards of butterflies fluttering around our flowers. It's a beautiful sight and a sign that summer is really here.
 I couldn't resist then the challenge over on 


I also found the perfect sketch to go with this challenge over on


Here is my card


I had an old Stampin' Up wheelie stamp of butterflies - I didn't have the wheel to attach it to so I removed it from the wheel and use it instead on an acrylic block. I've also cut it up a bit so I have a two line stamp of butterflies and also one line. I've also got a couple of single one too - very handy!
I stamped my large butterfly (from Papillon Pot Pourri) with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Coastal Cabana was my colour choice and my sentiment is from Sheltering Tree.

Hope you like my card today - thanks for stopping by and taking a look. See you soon 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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!

I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
