Love is like a butterfly

This week's challenge over at Less Is is More is PINK, yippee :) So even in the last minute preparations to head for 'teacher training' I couldn't let that go past:
The camera is fibbing again, the butterfly is a lovely vibrant pink :(

I used:

- 6" square white card from Hobbycraft (their own brand too) with the bottom edge already die cut. They have some pretty designs in the range too :)

- butterfly and the little heart came from Penny Black's Stickeroo sheet called 'Keeping Love'

- a strip of raspberry pink card from the snippets folder, attached to the inside of the card on the back portion so the die cutting 'pops' more

- all corners of the card have been rounded off with a punch 
- SU sentiment stamped using 'Melon Mambo'

The forecast seems warm in Southern Spain where we're heading, but with rain - sigh :(

  2. OMG That diecut card base is so gorgeous! I can't wait for our next visit to England as I am so going to stock up on all these different, gorgeous card bases...I think I will need one small rectangle suitcase just for cards!!!!! teehee

    This is a lovely card...well done!

    Can't wait to get to my room and start my Xmas cards...I have a plan for the one design that I have chosen to make 30 or 40 of the same design...but first I am going to use up tons of my Xmas snippets and make them into cards! You gave me that idea a while back! So watch for steady visits to the playground!!!
    Oh oh...I'd better check and see if there is a maximun...i was thinking of making 5 cards this week...???

  6. Wow, what a pretty card, Di. I thought you'd die cut it yourself. We have a Hobbycraft opening down the road at the end of November. I hope they sell these!!
    It's a gorgeous card.
    Have you got room for a little extra person in your case??? I bet Spain will be lovely. Have a great time.

  15. Well you know me and butterflies but credit where credit is due this is a beautiful card, love the stickeroo image and the die cut cardstock is fabulous, must take a trip to Leeds to our nearest Hobbycraft to check out the other die cut cardstock.
    Wherever you are hope it is all going well and you are having a great time.
