Beautiful Butterflies

Good morning,

I just wanted to say 'welcome' to my new followers and thank you to you all for your lovely comments that you leave on my blog - they are always very much appreciated.

It's time for our next challenge over at Make My Monday and this week it was my turn to choose the theme. Well, it has to be another of my favourites, so this week we would love to see your projects showcasing

'BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES'

I always think that butterflies and flowers are so easy to pop onto your cards, so as long as you use a butterfly somewhere on your project, you're onto a winner. Will it be a main feature, a shaped card, an embellishment, a die - the choice is yours. Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

Now, I made something similar to this about a year ago for another challenge blog and I absolutely love this image. It's a digital image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff and I thought it was perfect for this challenge (and a little different to the usual butterflies that I use). It is printed directly onto a piece of design paper and I created the quote on my pc - so pretty much a digitally created card, but a good result I think. I printed an extra butterfly, which is coloured with my Promarkers to match and then layered on top of the original.

Hope you can come and join us this week with your butterfly creations.

Butterfly Eyes

Hi there everyone,

Well, it's day three of my Half Term break and all is well - lots of crafting done and I even did some housework too (but, sshhhh don't tell anyone!!)

It's my turn to post again today over at the Scrapbook Stamp Society and I have a card made using a fabulous butterfly image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff (which can be found in their on-line store HERE).

The background is made using 'Broken China' and 'Seedless Preserve' distress inks. I then put the card front through my printer and added the butterfly image and the quote. I added extra colour to the image using Promarkers, together with a few highlights in white ink. The whole thing is mounted on black card and measures 6x6".

I would like to enter this into the challenges at: 

-  'Try it on Tuesday' which is 'All about the Eyes'

-  'Cute Card Thursday' which is 'An Eye for Detail'

Hope you have a great day :)

Hugz, Jan xx
