Butterfly Borders.

I feel as if we are fighting a loosing battle here at the moment . No sooner do we get one thing fixed then something else goes wrong. Now we have no Email. Been like that since last Friday. Our service provider is supposed to be on the case but nothing seems to be being sorted.

A new challenge has started over at the Butterfly Blog.

#109 Spin The Butterfly wheel with the Letter B.

Here are my first two inspiration cards for you.
The first one uses  Butterflies/Buff/Borders.

It would have helped if I had actually had the image the right way up whilst colouring it in!! The flower arrangement would have made a lot more sense but I think I have gotten away with it.  Can't believe I didn't realise it was a window box. I thought the brackets at the top of the window looked a bit odd and I still didn't twig. Lol. Thank goodness I didn't add the sentiment till I had realised my mistake.

The image is by Mo's Digital Pencil called 'Rustic Window Box. ' In my defence I always right the name of the image on the back when I print off the digi images (so that I don't forget whose they are)and I had written it upside down on this one.  Coloured in using my Graph'it markers. The butterflies were already pre punched in white card and I also coloured with a Graph'it pen.  The sentiment is by Kanban. Strips of pink gems were in my stash and used to make the borders. Image adhered to pink card slightly larger and then adhered to the buff coloured card which I completely covered the front of the white base card with.

The second one  uses  Butterfly/Baby blue/ Birthday.
This is a stamp by Creative Expressions called Caroline's Butterfly Dreams.  I must admit I was impressed on how well it stamped out just using on an acrylic block  and with only one inking.

Coloured this one using my promarkers. I  also used two shades of grey markers to colour the framework which I thought looked quite like a pewter tray.  The sentiment is again by Kanban and I didn't stamp it until I had done the colouring so heart was in mouth when I  finally added it. I used a white scalloped base card and trimmed the two outside corners on the blue cardstock using my corner chomper and again on the stamped image. 

Hope you will find time to play along. Challenge is for two weeks as normal.
