Thanks a bunch....

Hi again, this is Susan. I have enjoyed making this card, I love working from sketches and this one is no exception.
All the edges of the backing papers and the image surround were distressed.
I have entered this card in a few challenges this week, I have listed them below.
All my favourite things were used here, butterflies and flowers, ribbon and lace. The colours I chose simply because they always remind me of spring when everything is coming alive.



The butterfly was taken from an Artylicious CD - Butterfly Bliss, and printed onto pearlescent paper, then cut out and decorated up. The label I made myself on the computer, the edges again were distressed before putting on the card.







This image is so cute, it is of course a Lili of the Valley Stamp, and being a cat fan is one of my favourite stamps to colour in. I used Pro-Markers to get my desired effect.
The lace and ribbons I get from my local market. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and with a few of my own blossoms thrown in.

The challenges I am entering this card with are:-
  1. Lili of the Valley Sketch
  2. Crafty Dragons - Aud Sentiments No. 2
  3. Papertake Weekly - Say it with flowers
  4. Sir Stamp Alot - May, Butterflies and Blossoms

Thank you for taking the time to look at my creation.

Love Susan

    Wow Mam this card is so summery and bright and beautiful. I really love the colours, to me they look so different to what you usually use, I love how zesty and mouth-watering this card looks!! You've used the beautiful kitty image that Emma has used, yet both images look so different because of how you've both coloured them, I love them. The flowers and the butterfly look so real and the lace is gorgeous. Fantastic job Mam xxx
