My Internet connection had not improved.
In fact is is rapidly disintegrating to morse code!
Further hampered by the fact that the help centre is in India.
I will say no more.
Have Been trying to post this since Wednesday.
Have finally managed to load the photos this morning
But now lost my connection so battling with
Predictive text on my iPad to finish.
It is week two of my Butterfly Challenge.
I have chosen another new card shape
Block Step Card
to showcase the theme
Butterlies + C is for Corners.
I found lots of tutorials on YouTube for this card
all using the same method and instructions so
have not used a specific one to make mine as they
are all equally as good as each other.
You only need a piece of card 4.5 inches x 12 inches
and another piece 4 .5 inches x 1 inch to make the base card
so is very economical plus folds flat for sending.
Again the most time consuming part was to cut the squares
from design papers to layer up with. ( 15 squares needed)
I wanted to have a spring look to the card so raided
my yellow snippets stash of papers and sorted out
embellishments to compliment.
The embroidered roses
( front /back of card is made the same)
have been hoarded for at least 35 yrs and
The lace 25 yrs so well past their sell by date!
I used my Sizzix corner die Architectural Accent # 4
to make the corners from a scrap of same yellow card.
Sentiment is a magazine freebie and my butterflies are
Die cut using Memory box
Isabella/ Pippi.
Card is totally free standing .
Another view showing the other side .
Butterflies were adhered with 3D pads
to give definition.

This is one gorgeous creation, and I should try to make one some day! A friend of mine made & sent me one, and it's in my curio cabinet - much too pretty to put away in a box! So sorry about your internet woes.........bring that bottle of Jack over and we'll get through the tough days without a care in the world :) Maybe we could all go back on dialup???? lol

This block card is a work of art. I love how this could be a stand alone décor item for all of time. Creative Bliss Dear. I do hope your internet behaves soon.
Poor darling, it's enough to make you a candidate for the loony bin! I do wish you would be finished with your intertube worries and back to business in Blogland. It's beyond frustrating, but we all understand!
Your creation is a virtual memorial to butterflies. A sculpture. A throne. It is remarkable in every way, especially with using the VOS embellies! Well done!! I can see that your frustrations have not hampered your artistic abilities!! Happy Easter and do take care! Hugs, Darnell
Wow and double wow Mrs A!! This is just stunning - fabulous shaped card and so beautifully decorated. I went and looked how to make one so that's on my 'to-do' list for a rainy day.
Sorry to hear the internet is still running like a three-legged dog :(
