Butterflies

Hello everyone. I hope you had an enjoyable Easter Weekend. I am so pleased the weather was kind to us this year. We managed to get quite a few outside jobs done, which is always pleasing. I managed to grab myself some time to play, again inspired by Allsorts challenge, Blossoms, Butterflies and bugs and did this....


I recently treated myself to a couple of the new Crafters Companion Sentiment dies and worked the design around one of those and, of course, butterflies. The pretty papers are Maja Design that, until now, have been " look only" but come on...what is the point?!!!!! So I cut into them and am really pleased I did. I even love the pretty blue shade.

See you soon xx

  3. Well done in biting the bullet and cutting into your DP stash, we've all been there. One to cut up, one to look at!
    Super card too, the blue butterflies reminded me of one that whizzed past me as I struggled to hang the washing out on Saturday. Too late to work out what is was but there have been so many of them fluttering around this BH, including orange tips, small tortoiseshells and a peacock or two too. Can't remember such a variety so early. :)

  15. Hi Sarah

    Just beautiful!

    I can see why you struggled to cut into those gorgeous papers .. .. but what a fabulous result.

    Love the colour palette very much.

    Also enjoying the "outdoor" shot .. .. not very often the weather is perfect enough to do that is it. It is either to wet or too windy!!!

    Back to rain here now .. .. but hubby is pleased because it saves him watering in the "weed and feed" he has put on the lawns. At least someone is happy LOL!!!

    Have a good week.

    Love Jules xx
