A Corner of Butterflies

Well I'm supposed to be working on a couple of commissions but I'm struggling to decide on where to put thing, so I thought I'd make this quick one as I had the idea the other day and thought I would give it a go.... It happens to fit in with this weeks LIM challenge of "Pick a Square".  Here it is...


It's simply a butterfly cut from the corner using Martha Stewart punch anywhere butterfly and then scattered with a few of the same butterflies.  The backing paper on the inside and for the butterflies is GCD Melody Ross Lydia collection from Range in the sale ages ago... one of those I found whilst looking for something else lol.....

Hope you like it....

Olivia & Archie

It's sadly my last week as Guest Designer at Cupcake crafts and this week the theme is Green, Orange, yellow and white.  Now when I first saw this I was very unsure how it would come together. I combined it with the sketch from Cute Card Thursday



I've chose to use a digi from digistamp boutique - Olivia and Archie.  This is coloured in with promarkers ( caramel, cocoa, burnt sienna, leaf, bright and forest green, spice, ginger, apricot, sun kissed pink, cool grey 1-3, buttercup and mustard).

The papers are my minds eye bloom and grow from an 8by8 set on sale at range a few weeks ago. the flowers are cut out from one of the sheets.... a few pearls and some scrap of dovecraft ribbon and finished with a sentiment from scrap-a-licious.

Sorry about the photo the green ribbon look a completely different colour than it does on the actual card

hope you enjoy this weeks challenge

Umbrella Man

Morning LIMettes .... Well it's Saturday again and Mandi and Chrissie have another challenge for us this week....  SQUARES - you need to pick one of the squares and stick within it.  Mandi has also let you all know about my Macmillan Appeal so any donations would be very welcome in my
where I first need to make the 100 card in 90 days, but then also sell them.... ALL... Here is my card ( or should I say cards).

The black first card...
And in red....

I really wanted this to be the white on black but the sentiment embossing didn't come out to well so I thought I'd try the black on red.... But I still prefer the Black one.  The stamp is from Stampers Anonymous and is Tim Holtz Purely Random.  I've then used seafoam embossing powder on the black card and black in on the red card.  The sentiment is from the same set.  Hope you like them....

Butterfly Kisses

Well I'm officially obsessed.... yet another LIM entry and I could probably make another 50 cards with Butterflies on quite easily... sad??? I know lol.... This was was not planned, as I was looking through my Scrap-a-licious sentiments and I came across this one.  It's simply finished off with a Penny Black stamp - Butterfly edge stamped across the page in pink memento ink and the corners are rounded... Nothing else too it



I'll be back tomorrow for the new challenge... hope you all have a good Friday and are getting ready for the long weekend.... I know I am!

Little Goth Girl

I thought it was time I used another one of the Gorjuss stamps I got a few weeks ago and I really wanted to have a try at "Black" hair so I chose to use Little Goth  Girl.  I've used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl #60 with an optional extra of Birthdays.  I'm also entering this into Divas By Design #2 One for the Girls and I Love Promarkers Pearls. Here is the card....



The image is Sugar Nellie " Little Goth Girl" and is coloured in with promarkers ( Black, Cool grey 4,5, meadow, apple, almond, sunkissed pink, lipstick, crimson), the paper is what was left  from a card this week from Shabby Princess ( see I'm trying to be good and not create anymore scraps). The red card stock is co-ordinations and I've used nestie label 12 to cut out the white.  The lace is from The Ribbon Girl and pearls are from the hobby house, the sentiment is LOTV.

Hope you like it....

It's The Little Things....

*** 4 of 100 in the 100 Card Challenge for Macmillan***

So this little number is a very quick make "because" I didn't read the rules correctly at CAS-ual Fridays and entered the last one into more than the allowed challenges ( they had changes the rules lol).  The very lovely Michele let me know via email so I couldn't resist having to make another one.... and yet another excuse to use more butterflies lol.... It of course then fits into LIM Butterflies ( yes again lol).. Here it is...



The sentiment is again from Tim Holtz Stamper Anonymous but this time from "Natures Elements".  The paper is Shabby Princess Sweet Sprinkles collection (if you haven't come across Shabby yet then you are missing out on fab "free" papers). I've use a cuttle bug embossing folder the wrong way up and then finished the edge with a little ribbon.  The butterflies are punches from Martha Stewart and then it's blinged up with gems from the Hobby House and finished by rounding off the corners.  Not bad for about 10 mins work ...

Thanks for visiting
