Thanks a Bunch

First, I do want to say thank-you for the kind words regarding me being 'off-colour' recently. I was touched (really) that people I have never met are so kind and take the time to say a few nice words. You are very kind and this card is dedicated to you.

I have played around with is idea before and liked it a lot so when I re-discovered these fabric flowers that I bought at about a year ago and stashed away because I didn't know what to do with them, I immediately thought of this design idea again.

The flower pot and tag are made from Bazzill card and decorated with a Martha Stewart border punch. The flowers are Petaloo and they have lovely little beads in the centre. I punched the leaves with an Xcut Botanical embossing punch and finished the design with a polk-dot ribbon and my usual favourite sentiment.

I am hoping to enter this card into the following challenges :-
1.Polka Doodles Week 35- Shaped card
2.OSCC Challenge 96 - Photo Inspiration (Colour)
3.Creative Inspirations Challenge 42 - Anything but square or rectangle

Just Because Butterfly Card

I bought the Martha Stewart Royal Butterfly punch yesterday at the Scrapbook Shop and just had to do something with it straight away. I came up with this card and I can see that the idea lends itself to so many variations.

I love the 3 D effect.The card is Bazzill and I cut the small squares with Nesties. The sentiment is from Personal Impressions and I cut the butterflies from one of Polka Doodles backing papers.
