Poppies.

There is still time to enter my Butterfly Challenge.
The theme for #5 is Butterfly/flies + charm.
When I saw this digi on Fluffs blog I had to have it too!
 I'm not a cutesy  person but do love poppies and this digi just spoke volumes to me.
Digi is from Tiddly Inks and you can find it here.
Coloured using Promarkers and Pearlescent chalks.
Cardstock from  SU.

Ribbon, thread and butterfly charm from stash.
Sentiment is Britannia Word die
Side panels are the poppy border  which comes with the digi.

Side view showing stepper design.

Border poppy used again inside card.
You can see my glaringly obvious mistake now 
 where the craft knife slipped, so had to cut two slits  out either side to correct.
I was so not going to waste the SU card.
Think I have gotten away with it and made a new style stepper!!

Tuesday Taggers # More than one fold.

I don't see any mistake...I see a new style of stepper that many may decide to sopy...whentheir knife slips too! Great save!!!

Fabulous card. Love the design...Hope to get a card made by the deadline.

Home from Mum's on Saturday evening but have to clean our self catering accommodation as we have a changeover in tenants. New fellow arrives on Sunday. If not too worn out from the journey home and cleaning, I will pop together a card for your challenge. Have a design in mind already!

Brillant digi, colored beautifully. Had you not told of your mistake, I just thought you had created another nifty stepper card. Which you did! And it's lovely too! Well done Miz Valery. Sweet ice tea is very refreshing on a hot summer day, swinging along in the porch swing as I watch the neighbors go by. It's a USA Southern thang! TFS & Hugs
