Butterflies & Lace

Hiya peeps! First of all I'd like to say "Thank You" to everyone who comments on my work and continues to  follows me...old and new, I'm not the best of bloggers so I  really do appreciate it :)

I have a card I'd like to share with you this evening  that I made for my Sister...(remember little Alfie?) his  mum, even when he had his problems..bless him  he was fascinated with butterflies  so they are very special to her and she loves to receive anything associated with them so I thought she would like this too. I will be entering my card into the following 2 challenges.....
1) Crafts and Me #97 Add some lace
2) Ruby's Rainbow #35 Butterflies

I used the beautiful 'Believe'  image from Crafts and Me..coloured with Copics as always, my pics aren't very bright I'm sorry 

 I used a MS Butterflies punch to create the border, Papermania dps, not sure what  make the sentiment is but I love the words and do need this stamp :)  Lace and Butterfly from stash ..diamond Sparkles added to bf

         .... and another view

That's it for now folks ..thanks for your visit and any comment you may leave ..enjoy your evening

Simply Sassy Banner Challenge ...............

Good evening fellow bloggers hope you are well ?  It's my sons 24th birthday today and we've been out for a luvly family meal this evening, I'm feeling rather bloated now though so I've put me feet up n I'm relaxing :D

I've decided to have a go at the challenge over at the Simply Sassy  blog,  it's for the Banner Challenge  your card will be showcased on their header for 2 months...how totally fab is that?  tbh I did think twice about entering cuz I've seen the others what have been entered ,lol   but in the end  I just thought "why not"  :D

I used the 2nd of my new Sassy's  for my card ...don't ya think she's just soooo adorable?

She's called  ' Butterflies & Pigtails'

My entry

I coloured her with  Copics,  used Jelly Roll pens on the tiny butterflies & used Glossy Accents on the glass jar ...not sure if you tell though :(

The DPs are Papermania & stash, I used my MS Butterfly punch which I luv cuz it punches out 1 butterfly then leaves the next 1 intact so you can raise the wings.

Flowers  ~  Wild Orchid Crafts

Leaf punch  ~  Leone-Em

Off to link her up now ....wish me luck I'm gonna need it,lol

Catch ya again real soon
