Butterfly Wishes

 As spring peeks around the corner, I've found myself dusting off my butterfly stamps and dies. I used an old wood mounted stamp by Rubber Stampede, which I colored with markers and fussy cut. The embossing folder (script words) by Cuttlebug. The scalloped circle border die is by Sizzix, and the stencil is Elizabeth Craft Designs. I also used a leafy die by Sizzix and colored it with alcohol markers to match the green shade in my butterfly. I didn't want the stenciled background to compete with the central butterfly so went with almost a tone-on-tone ink color. A bit of twine seemed perfect for this touch of nature. Lots of snippets from my stash made me happy as well! 

Pixie's Snippets Challenge 395. In memory of sweet Ruby's first snippets challenge, I dug deep in my stash and made this card to celebrate new beginnings.

 Butterfly Spot challenge 151. I used the elements of hemp, hansa yellow, and orange. Of course, I included my butterfly as well!

    Such a pretty card Karen! Wonderful design and colours - really soft beautifully made. Been thinking of you - after a break we're back on track trimming Dudley - it's very slow going but today was the best day as we're finally mastering the clippers! Dudley is a little angel and so well behaved - thankfully! Huge thaks again for all you advice.

    Hugs
