Beautiful butterflies.

Hi everyone. Hope you are well on this Sunday afternoon. Today I thought I'd share this quick and easy card with you. The papers and toppers are from Craftwork cards, stamps, gems and embellishment flowers are from my crafty stash.
I started with a DL card. I happen to have 3 spare squares cut out from another project which just fitted on my DL card perfectly. The measurements are 6.3cm x 5.7cm. I fixed foam pads onto my butterfly layers to make them look 3D and stuck them onto the squares on my card base.
I stamped half a ornate frame over the top of the squares. I made my stamped message fit underneath each square which turned out well. To finish i decorated with pink gems and a flower on each butterfly. I think it would be a good idea to batch make a lot of these and stamp the message on later. I hope you like it
Thanks for calling in and happy Crafting!!

Purple card.

Hi everyone. On this Thursday morning. I thought I'd share this card with you today. I made it last week at the craft class I go to. We all made this lovely card with Chloe's stamps, using lots of lovely wow glitter embossing powders, embossed onto acetate and vellum. What a treat!!
I started  by distressing a square piece of dotty purple card with a distressing tool. I mounted this onto my base card. The die I used (sweet Dixie die ) had three circles to it. I cut all of them together on white card. I kept the largest circle, discarded the middle bit for another project and the smallest circle i used to mount the sentiment onto. I arranged the circles onto the purple dotty background and adhere to the card. Next I took a piece of purple vellum and stamped with veramark and emboss the small. Medium and large flowers ( repeat this 3 times in the sizes ) with wow glitter embossing powder. I cut out and layred them on top of one another ( keeping the same sizes together) adhere as you go then add a pearl on each flower. Emboss the swirls onto heat resistant acetate and cut out roughly. Arrange flowers and swirls onto the card, when happy Adhere to the card. Add sentiment and pearls to finish.
Thanks for calling in and happy Crafting!!
