Butterflies!!!

Hi all, Happy Easter. Hope you have had a lovely day and not eaten too much chocolate.  I've had a lovely day with Sophie & Connor and my darling boyfriend Kevin. We went to the pics to watch Titanic 3d and I must say it was brill and yes, I did cry again!!!! lol
Anyway, today's card I'm posting has been made after seeing the idea in a craft magazine. Its a very handy way of using up scraps of card. I visited Oyster Stamps last week and managed to find a die of 4 small butterflies. I used just 2 of them for this card and after cutting them I folded in the centre and slightly shaped their wings before mounting with silicone glue. I also added some dots which I punched using a circular hand punch, another thing I've had in the draw for ages and never seem to use much!  Once these were all dry I added some stickles to the butterflies.  The greeting was printed on the card in multicolour print before I started. This card can be used for most occasions and so far I've done an anniversary card and this thank you card.
Please visit again soon as I've got a week off work so in between entertaining my 2 children I'm hoping to make some more cards!!
Bye for now, happy crafting

Easter

Hi all, thought it was time I posted some pics of cards I've been busy making lately. These are all digi stamps and have been coloured using Promarkers. This first digi is from Kelly Rhodes at Inked Paws. I found her on Facebook one day and she has lots of great images. She is very friendly and replies asap to any questions. Digis are sent through straight away also with no waiting around.
This is another of Kelly's images and can be used for birthdays also. 


As usual I have edged all the images and papers with Stickles, it really does make a difference to the finished article.
I hope you like these cards, please come back soon.
Have a very Happy Easter and eat loads of chocolate!!!!!
