Butterflies and flowers



Hello crafty friends

Todays card has six pretty flowers with sponged edges, adhered to a white card. This was then run through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder. A sparkly die-cut butterfly with a pink background was added and adhered over a matching pink ribbon. Then layered to a pink base card.

80th birthday

 

Hello again
I have made this card for a very dear friend who I have  known for over forty years, and whose birthday is the same day as mine. They are having an afternoon party at the retirement village where they now live, but because of my OH's not so good health, we are unable to go.
I printed the image and layered onto matching blue card. The sentiment is computer printed, numbers
were cut on my Cameo from black glitter paper and I also added some sparkly trim and 3 black rhinestones. I hope she will like it

'5'

 


Hello all
This is a commissioned card for the grandson of a work colleague. She asked for something to do with numbers or maths. I cased a card that I saw recently, but used various sizes of number stickers as well as 5 balloons. I think she was very happy with it.

It's your birthday

 


Hello everyone
Today's card uses a lovely stencil that I won from Bev at Uniko. I cased her sample and combined 3 different stamps (unknown) to make my flower. The sentiment is white embossed on black card, and the base card is a matching orange.

Sparkly butterfly

 


 Hello all
My scan does not capture the pretty sparkle of the butterfly wings very well unfortunately
I have stamped the Hero Arts 'leafy vines' onto my card and then cut a square from it, which I layered onto a black scalloped square. On top of that I adhered my butterfly square (unknown) and adhered them over the cut out square. I lightly sponged the edges with 'wilted violet' DI and then adhered to a black card base. I embellished with some purple drops to finish.

Poppies

 


Good morning all, I hope you are enjoying a lovely Easter break
Todays card is from an SVG by Crafts with Sara, It took me quite a while to figure out how all the little pieces layered, but got there in the end. I have attached it to an embossed piece from my backgrounds box, not sure who it is by, but suited the poppies
