Butterflies

A CAS card to share today.

I used a  Memory Box 'Sylvan Corner' die and added a few Sizzix cut and embossed little butterflies.  The flight trails were added with a fineliner pen.  Five tiny white pearls along along the peach coloured panel finished off my card.

Less is More Challenge #457 ~ Birthdays

Stitched Flower

I made this card for a card swap.  The cross stitching was done with crochet cotton as I find it easier to use than embroidery thread on the the die cuts.

Card recipe:

Die ~ Marianne 'Cross Stitch Border'

Embossing Folder ~ 8" x 8" (Unsure of the brand, possibly Crafter's Companion)

When I saw this digi stamp set on Beccy's Place blog, I just had to buy it.  It's such a fun image and it's handy to have a belated Happy Birthday card in my box of ready-made cards.

When I was asked by a friend who will soon be 94 years young to make her some cards, how could I say no?  She used to be an English teacher and loves to send handwritten letters and cards.  She asked me if I could make her cards for any occasion, so I made her a dozen. I decided on a few designs and made them in different colourways.

 

Collar Fold

The current Butterfly Challenge theme is 'C for Circles, Cornflower, Coral, Celadon, Cardinal, Collar Fun Fold + Butterfly).  Mrs A has put the instructions for different ways to make the Collar Fun Fold HERE.  For my card I've gone with Circles, Coral, Celadon, Collar Fun Fold and a butterfly.
