I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card blank with one edge already laser cut into pretty butterflies - from Hobbycraft
- image is LOTV from their pre coloured 'Cute Cottage Garden' Art Pad, die cut with a Nesties circle
- the papers are from Wild Rose Studio's 'Annabelle's Meadow' paper pack - one of my all time favourites and what a match for the image!
- a snippet of SU's 'Certainly Celery'
- rows of tiny pearls down the butterfly bodies
I thought the card was busy enough without adding a sentiment or anything else.
If, like me, you love the 'Annabelle's Meadow' papers here's a little heads up. I decided to replenish the pad as it's getting very low and I had quite a long search online to find another pad. Many places are sold out, so if (as I do) you already have the Annabelle's Meadow toppers you might want to check how much matching paper you have :)
I just spotted Stamping Sensations challenge for February which is 'Wings, Fantasy and Fiction' - my butterflies have wings so I'm going to play over there too :)

Offical butterfly hat on here. Thank you soooo much for being my very first ever entrant in my new challenge and what a super card it is too. That's the pad we both bought at the Newbury show last summer. Just checked it through and most of the designs have butterflies on them!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that paper go well with the image and you even qualify twice cos you have used a card with butterfly cut outs on. Hugs Mrs A. (Butterfly Challenge.)
Gorgeous card, Di, love all those butterflies :) The paper is super pretty too. Congrats on being the first to enter Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

ReplyDeleteI've been anxiously awaiting the butterfly challenge to see what it is. Now I won't be home this evening to play but I'm sure I can come up with something soon. I'm not sure I can outdo your elegant and fabulous AND pearled butterfly border though. I really like the card with its pink floral background and fab image.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Di, I also love the papers. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteVery pretty feminine card. Especially like the butterfly border x
ReplyDeleteWow, Di, that's awesome that your beautiful card is so fitting for Mrs. A.'s first butterfly challenge! Whoo-Hoo!! And I love that your wonderful organization paid off so quickly!! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card. You'd think the image and papers were meant to be!!!
I hope you aren't getting all the rain where you are. New Mexico is dry as a bone. Albuquerque is supposed to be in the 70s this weekend..... Yikes.
