We were away in Suffolk last week visiting friends. One set we stay with in their Farmhouse B&B Breakfast home and the other friends live in a 400yr old 2 up 2down cottage.
The weather was extremely good and we managed to get to all the places we wanted to visit. We had 2 pieces of upsetting news though that did put a damper on our stay. I also got bitten by mosquitoes big time. We had gone out on our first evening to watch the Sunset over the fields and even though I had leggings on the call went straight out
'Come on, supper has just arrived' !!!!
The little blighters got me fair and square straight into the muscle behind my knee joint.
By the time we got back to the farmhouse my leg was aflame. Needless to say straight onto the antibiotics which I carry at all times. Leg is only just getting back to rights now so I'm still playing catch up on everything.
Onto the main reason for my post. It is time again for a new challenge on
So I would like to see lots of 3d and layers
on your project
along with your Butterfly/ies of course.
Here is my inspiration for you.
The design papers are digital from

DLM April 2016.
Plain card stock is called Denim Blue Linen
and does have a lovely texture to it from Limetree Craft.
The swirls are in Lilac card stock and are a Die cut
by Tonic Studios calledFloral Finesse.
This is their first outing even though
I purchased a couple of years ago. Where does the time go!
I have layered up and distressed and torn round the edges.
Butterfly is die cut from the Denim cardstock
and is Memory box Pippi/Isabella.
Lace/ ribbon/ pearls and flowers from my stash.
All given a liberal coating of Glamour Dust.

Sorry for your legs, Mrs.A! Hope that now you feel well!
Your card is really a delight, I enlarged the photo and I have seen all the pretty details! Fabulous design, with the distressed edges of these lovely papers, the lace and the big swirls! The flowers and the gorgous 3D butterfly match very well with the butterfly on the dp and love the sparkling here and there!!
Hugs
A really great card, fabulous colours and some lovely embellishments.
Poor you, I can totally understand what you have gone through, Saturday the 2nd July I was stung by a wasp, I am finally going to the Doc's (not yours) tomorrow, the itching has finally stopped but my foot is still twice the size of the other one and very, very red. Been putting cream and taking tables that are for insect bites but no improvement.
Sorry for your legs and I hope that you are feeling better now.
your card is awesome, beautiful colours and all these layers ...
Beautiful papers & the denim butterfly is stunning! So sorry about the mosquitos--what a bummer!
Your beautiful card is filled with lovely dimension. There are so many gorgeous elements to look at. I hope you are okay. How lovely to stay in a 400 year old house...I love all that history.
Oooh so sorry Mrs A to read you was bitten by those horrible mosquitoes nasty they are and your not in too much pain now and that it didn't spoil your holiday and the sad news didn't dampen it too much on a more lovelier note your card is so adorable love all the elements and the layout as always your so talented in all of your crafts take care xx
Mrs A, I had the same problem with my two cards yesterday that is why I posted both at once.
I hope you are feeling better after feeding all the mosquitoes, how kind of you! We have good years and bad dependant on the weather, such a pain.
A great theme again, love your layering and you butterfly. I've got lots on this week or I would play along. Maybe I'll get time later in the week.
Take care, happy crafting, hugs Erika. x
Very pretty. Thanks for playing along at CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge.
Margaret, DT.
What a pretty card Mrs A and the background paper goes beautifully with the added butterfly and the pretty embellishments. So pleased you had a wonderful week in Suffolk but sad that you were badly bitten especislly as it happened at the start of your week. The last time I got bitten it was on my ankle and it blew up to twice the size making walking uncomfortable. You do wonder what purpose mosquitos serve other than to give us all a bad time! x
ooooooh! Mrs. A! Lovely dimensional butterflies that just happen to be the same color as denim! LOL Fantastic design idea, and a beautiful card! hugs, de

Just a wonderful card design. Hope you are feeling better now. It is interesting how you never hear or feel mosquitoes as they are biting you.
