Butterfly Dreams....

Hi Susan here....

At Sentimental Sundays a new challenge has started today and the theme is -
We want to challenge you to take flight with your creations! Birds, planes, butterflies, you name it! If it has wings, we want to see it.
For full details of the challenge and to get some fantastic inspiration from the design team take a trip to The Sentimental Challenge Blog and take a look around.

My backing papers are from HOTP Cardmakers Ultimate Pack, I have stitched all round the edges and gently distressed them. The lace and gems are from my local market.

This beautiful frame and sentiment have been designed by Ann Vento and are from Raindrop Echo Designs
I have changed the colour of the frame to green and then gently coloured the flowers and butterflies. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaves are made using a punch.

My butterflies are digi images from Fairy Dust Crafts, they are called 'DIY Butterflies' because Lexi leaves them blank for you to colour in and finish as you want. I have coloured them with chalks.

Challenges I am entering -

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card and for leaving me your wonderful comments....I hope you liked it.

Love Susan

  14. Oh Mam, my new favourite of yours. It's amazing. The colours are beautiful and the two papers go perfectly together. I love the delicate butterflies and your flowers are arranged so neatly with their beautiful spikey leaves peeking out. The sentiment is very special too.
    Great card Mam, one of your best in my opinion xxx
