Flight of the Butterfly...

Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme this week has been chosen by the lovely Tracy Mouse and is 'Use a butterfly on your creation'. Our wonderful sponsors this week are Digistamp Boutique and Flonzcraft, so 2 chances to win :-) 

So onto my DT card, I have gone a bit butterfly mad with butterfly papers, a gorgeous image from Digistamp Boutique and a little butterfly punchout... 

I then had a look at the finished card and thought the image looked a bit lonely so I added some little dots of liquid pearls around him 'a la Pop's' style and the card now looks like this...

I think it looks better, more interesting. Don't look too close at my dots, they are all different sizes, I need loads more practice at this ;-)

Supplies:

Image - from the Butterflies set from Digistamp Boutique coloured slightly with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Paper - Time Flies from Craftwork Cards
Lace - from a gorgeous friend x
Flowers, buttons & pearls - stash

Good morning, it's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme this week has been chosen by the lovely Brenda and is 'It's all in the message'. So we'd like to see a sentiment or quote as the focal element. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Nicecrane.

So onto my DT card, I have made an anniversary card using a fabulous sentiment designed by StampArt Design. I love cards where the sentiment is the main thing. I made a frame using a leaf punch and lots of buttons. The card was an 'order' from my mum for my dad. I think they both liked it...

I LOVE Wales!

We have arrived home from Wales this evening, the washing machine is already on ;-) We had a great week - lots of sunshine and happy times. I had my very first Barm Cake and Welsh ice cream is fabulous! Here are a couple of pics from our time away...

This is the beach closest to where we stayed, near Prestatyn...

 Me getting my (canvas) shoes and feet wet, just couldn't resist...

 We had a fab time at the Bronze Age mine at Great Orme, near Llandudno...

Some of the tunnels were sooooo narrow...

  This is Thomas in a Aqua Paddler...

 Here's Jack with an Aqua Glider...

I'll be back tomorrow with my Allsorts DT card x
