Thankyou.

The butterflies are back and a new challenge has started over on the butterfly blog.  Joy of joys, I  have used the last of the Ducks eggs up now too!!!

#114 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the Letter I.



Without further ado here are my inspiration cards for you.

1st card using Ivory/Invitation/ Image (a stamp) and a Butterfly.


 Stamp used is by Studio Light and coloured using my promarkers and a silver gel pen.  I thought the stamp would look good as an invitation card.  stamped out onto white cardstock, coloured and then adhered to Ivory cardstock for the card base.  Silver invitation sticker and  silver lines from my stash.

Entering the card above into the following challenges:
Passion for Promarkers #474 Add a sentiment.
Though The Craftroom Door # Anything goes.
Crafting By Designs # Anything goes.
Unicorn Challenge #39 Things with wings.

2nd Card  uses Imperial Purple/ Ivory/Butterfly.
At first glance the colours on the wheel this time are a bit somber but by adding in other brighter colours I think that it works.  The butterfly is from a decoupage kit. It was already made when I purchased from a Craft Shop and was in their bits and bobs box so I do not have a name for it.  I have matched to purple cardstock and then pink for the card base.  Thankyou sticker from my stash.



Entering into the following challenges:
2 Crafty Critter Crazies #22 Anything goes.
Crafts Galore #59 Anything goes.
Love To Craft #30 Anything goes.
The Crafty Addicts #56 Anything goes.
