Blossom

Time is flying and we are already into the 2nd week of the current Butterfly Challenge

#114 Spin The butterfly wheel with the Letter I

I had intended to show  2 more inspiration cards but my shoulder is still stiff and as it is my writing arm is restricting my movements so I have just made one card with all the Seven Elements of the wheel.
Imperial Purple/Iceberg/Ivory/ Invitation/ Include a die cut/ Image (stamp or digi) Butterfly.

Design paper is a digi paper by 'Blossom Paper Arts' from their Blue Bird series paper no 1807 6.
The Die cut flowers are Spellbinders 'Roses' and the frame is by 'Press Cut 'Stitched hole rectangle die. The butterfly is a stamp by 'Kaiser Craft' Texture Butterfly set coloured with my Promarkers and then fussy cut out.  Invitation printed out in word. The gems were in my stash. A fairly simple card but still took me all morning to prepare.

Entering into the following challenges:
Dies R Us #112 Anything goes. (Spellbinders Die cut)
Alphabet Challenge # Use somestitching real or faux .
Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends #97 Anything goes.
Pixie's Crafty Workshop #343 Use your snippets up (loads of ivory off cuts for roses).
Dream Valley # Anything goes.
Make My Monday #87 Use words or sentiment.
Passion for Promarkers #475 Dies and/or punches.
Shopping Our Stash #385 Winter blues.
Through The Craft room Door # Anything goes.
