Another Milestone.

Another milestone reached. This time it is the Butterfly Challenge which has now been going for 10yrs. having  started on 12th February 2014.  There is a challenge going on over on the blog Here which still has 10 days left to run.  I'm showing a card below which has all the colours on the wheel plus  Borders and Best Wishes sentiment. 

Again I have used up more of those white strips to create a border which I hand stitched together. I distressed the edges by tearing down each side of the strips before sewing . The stamp is by Imagination Crafts which I stamped directly onto the base card. Coloured with my promarkers and then attached the border  frame over the top. The sentiment is on the inside of the card and is by Hobby Craft. 


Hope you will find time to come on over and join in the fun with the Butterflies.

Congratulations on keeping the butterfly challenge going for 10 years. Clever idea to stitch some of your white card strips to form a border around the pretty butterflies.

Huge congratulations ValeryAnne, a great milestone and I know a lots of time and commitment has gone into keeping things going.

As you know I'm not presently able to craft, but going to look through my folders to see if I've got something to fit this special occasion.
