Anything but Square

Good morning Blogland

I hope that you had a marvelous weekend and are ready for the coming week.

Over at Crafty Boots Challenges there is a new challenge today.  The very talented Faye has set the challenge of 'Anything but Square'.

Emm, anyone who regularly visits my blog will not have failed to notice that I like my square cards so this has been a bit of a challenge for me.  However, for a long time now I have wanted to try my hand at making a rocker card, so this is my first attempt at one.

These fabulous little girls are from Saturated Canary's rubber stamp range which are available from the Crafty Boots on-line store, they are called 'Walkie' and 'Talkie'.  I coloured them with Promarkers and replaced their string with bakers twine.

I cut the largest of my Grand Scalloped Circles from craft card and folded it in two.  I then cut a smaller circle in blue pearlescent card.  I also cut a number of flourishes from the off cuts.

I also decorated the card with some powder blue flat backed gems and as you can see, a number of pink butterflies have crept into this design too!

The rest of the Design Team have excelled themselves.  Pop over to Crafty Boots Challenges and take a look and don't forget to enter your project whilst you are there.

Good luck.

Pretty Pink Butterflies

Hi

It's almost the weekend - yea!

I have enjoyed this week and all of my pink butterfly projects.  Today I have some more ATCs and between you and me, these are my favourite set of the week.

These Memory Box butterfly dies are so pretty and I think that tthe pink pearlescent card looks terrific on the mint green glitter card.  I added some green flourishes cut from mirri card and a few flat backed gems.

There is still time for you to enter your pink butterfly creations into this Crafty Boots Challenge.

Lupin and Butterflies

Good morning

The other day I posted a card I had made with one of the images I had won when I entered a Eureka Challenge, this is the other image I chose.  It is called Butterfly and Bluebonnet from Eureka Stamps (In the UK these pretty flowers are known as lupins.)

I coloured it with Promarkers and mounted it on pearlescent card.  The background paper is by Papermania and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I cut the butterfly from more pearlescent card using Memory Box dies, the flourish die is Marianne Designs one.  The rosette die is the Tim Holtz one.  The two tone ribbon is from the lovely Really Reasonable Ribbon people.

Butterfly Fairy

Hi

The weather here today has been so mixed, stormy, overcast, drizzle and sunshine.  It's one of those days when you know it is going to end in a headache.  But nothing lifts the spirit quite like crafting.

The theme of the current Crafty Boots Challenge is 'Pink Butterflies' and this little lady, from A Day for Daisies, is called Butterfly Fairy.

After colouring the image with Promarkers I added glitter to the wings and mounted it on pearlescent card.  The background paper is by Papermania and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I cut the butterflies from more pearlescent card using Memory Box dies and the ribbon is from the lovely Really Reasonable Ribbon people.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thistles and Butterflies

This morning I have another Pink Butterfly themed card to share with you.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and mounted it on pearlescent card.  The background paper is by Papermania and the sentiment from Kanban Crafts.  The ribbon is from the Really Reasonable Ribbon people and the rosette die is the Tim Holtz one.

There is still time for you to enter your pink butterfly creations into the Craft Boots Challenges.

Sunflowers and Butterflies

Hello again, how is your day going?

Mine has been pretty busy but I just have time for a quick post .... more pink butterflies!

A few weeks ago I was so excited because I actually won a challenge.  I hardly ever enter other people's challenges, so winning one is a really rare event.  My prize was two digital images of my choice, this is beautiful image is one of my selection.  It is called Butterfly and Sunflowers from Eureka Stamps.

I coloured it with Promarkers and mounted it on pearlescent card.  The background paper is by Papermania and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I cut the butterfly from more pearlescent card using Memory Box dies, the flourish die is from Cheery Lyn Deigns.

Calla Lilies and Butterflies

Hi

At last I seem to be getting my act together and posting my pink butterfly projects.  After posting two sets of ATCs yesterday and card the day before, I have another card for you this morning.

These pretty Calla Lilies are from Stitchy Bear.    The papers are from my favourite Papermania stack and the sentiment from Craftwork Cards.  I cut the butterflies from some pearlescent card using some Memory Box dies.
