Hello dear friends and welcome to my blog.
So pleased you decided to drop by.
So, the Crafty Cardmakers Team is back from holiday and the new Challenge has begun! Lin is our delightful Host and the Theme is 'It's a Bug's Life'!!
So, we would love to see some bugs/insects on your creations.
I created an all occasion card for my DT project and here are some close-ups.
The base paper is from a small paper pack by 49 & Market. To add a touch of colour, I swiped the paper through a little pool of Distress Ink which was left on my mat from a previous project.
I stamped the background with embossing ink and then sprinkled on Sea Foam White embossing powder. Adds a nice little touch of texture.
Added a small strip from the edge of a sheet of Maja papers and topped that with a diecut and a piece of floral lace.
Topped it all off with a Little Birdie flower and then a sweet little butterfly flew over and settled on my project so, of course, I invited it to stay .. and it did!! LOL!!
I hope you can find the time to join in! Would love to see what you create.
For all the details of the Challenge and for some wonderful inspiration by the rest of the Team here is the link
Thank you so much for stopping by and for any comment you may care to leave .. very much appreciated.
Have a wonderful day!
Take care and God Bless.

I love the summery colours here, especially with that faded sunbleached look they have amidst the whites and beiges - a really gorgeous card.

Oooh, I love 49 & Market papers and this one is so delicate and feminine looking on the base of your card and you have embellished it beautifully, as always! Love the gorgeous butterfly too! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Margaret! The added ink and the hint of embossing to the paper makes for a stunning background to your flower cluster, and it's no surprise a delicate butterfly was attracted to it and decided to stay! Gorgeous make! Hugs! Sara Emily
ReplyDeleteHi Marg! I hope this week is going well for you!! I love your card, the back ground colors are lovely and so glad you used a butterfly and not a cockroach!! hehe... love the lace too.. enjoy the rest of this week...
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and elegant card Marg. Love the layering and the soft apricot colour to ground it all. A butterfly is always a good addition to any project in my humble opinion. x
ReplyDeleteOh I love the way you've picked up a bit of leftover ink on your paper - perfect! Love this to bits :)
