Yellow Xanthine

It is  a new Theme

over at my Butterfly Challenge

#45 Butterflies + X is for Xanthine.

Yes the dreaded letter X has arrived

but let me explain.

Xanthine =  The yellow colouring matter found in certain plants as in Yellow Madder.
(Madder is from the Genus Rubia and has small yellow flowers, whorled leaves and a reddish brown root.)

So I would like to see Yellow butterfly/s  and  also a splash of yellow on your project somewhere.  Where and how you put the yellow is entirely up to you.  (i.e ribbon, gems, paper  etc.)

Here are my inspiration cards for you.

I recently did an on line  Different Card Folds

class by 'Shirley Pando'.

A few of the folds I already knew but I have 

been making my way through each of the 24 cards shown

These are 2 shapes I have revisited.

Criss Cross Fold Card.

Amanda who is my Guest Designer for this challenge

not only sent me the journal she made as a present 

but  enclosed extra goodies for me to play with as well.

These silver/gold foil buterflies were one of them.

I cut  the card base shape from yellow  card stock.

The digi papers are by Pink Petticoat who are 

sadly closing their shop at the end of the year.

This design is called Dandeline Clocks from 

the Isabelline collection.

I made a tag using my SU Tag topper punch

to go inside the envelope fold.

Gems and ribbon from my stash.

Thankyou sentiment is a gold sticker.

2nd card is a Z fold Card.

Amanda  also enclosed a packet of 

Burlap mini butterflies in cream and brown.

I have used a few of the cream ones here.

I coloured the top petals with a yellow promarker pen

and then  ran some platinum stickles as an outline

round the edges. They really do sparkle.

Card base is cut from yellow  pearlescent card stock.

Design paper is by Rasberry Road  a magazine freebie.

Edging is gold sticker in a rope design.

Front die cut is by Cheery Lynn Designs 

from their Sentiment Frame #2 set.

The middle and back page are Spellbinders

Medallion six die cuts .

Yellow ribbon and the  With Love gold sticker

from my stash.

Hope I have given you some ideas on
