I've been chasing my tail all week.
I'm a tad late but here is my
2nd Inspiration piece for my butterfly challenge.
I made the glittered background following
a tutorial by Christina Griffiths.
I love Christina's tutorials they are so easy and concise.
The base card is a pale pink 6" sq.that I cut down to 5.25"sq.
I used the off cut to make the sentiment banner with a stamp from
a butterfly set by Sheena Douglass 'Butterfly Effect'.
The butterflies are the negative inserts from lasts weeks card
+ one extra. (just in case your counting.) Still sat on my desk!
The glitters are a pretty pink and purple that came free in
a magazine a few years ago now. There are 6 colours in the set.
Pink pearls are from my stash
Punch for the sentiment is Su's Modern Label.
It took 6 goes to get the sentiment centered and not smudged!!
Hope this inspires you to enter a card

Very striking design and colours Mrs A. I have the challenge card still on my to do list but not confident I will get there this time as had an overnight in hospital this week and back tomorrow so time somewhat limited.

Fab butterflies and sentiment!
No work for me today. This is my break. This is a beautiful shimmery card with such pretty colors. I also love that gorgeous return to sender card. I tried and tried to copy and paste the Turkish silk box on my blog so I could enter but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Congratulations to the winner. Probably be a while before I'll get back here but your cards are lovely and I like all the Christmas ones you posted too.
