Three Butterflies

Good Afternoon,

Time for another challenge over at Less Is More, this week Chrissie & Mandi have set us a challenge of 'Three of Anything', hmmm not challenges that are this broad always means I take a while to decide on what I am going to do.  And just to throw a spanner into the works it also has to be a one layer card.

The idea for this was the three butterflies but as the card developed I noticed I have a couple more that fall into '3' category.  I have used 3 shades of promarkers on the large butterfly and three different stamps if you include the sentiment.  I added the scored horizontal lines just to add a bit of texture to the card.

Supplies Used:
Sizzix Butterfly Stamps
Stampin Up Sentiment
ProMarkers - Pale Pink, Carnation Pink & Almond
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Spun Sugar & Dusty Concord

That's my crafting done for the day, we have a 30th Birthday do to go to tonight, so I have to go and try and get my birds nest hair to behave its self.

I'm now a Mrs!

Well everything went well last Saturday at our wedding, although the day flew past and I'm sure there is loads of bits of the day I have forgotten about.  I just want to thank everybody who sent us good wishes for the day, it was very much apprecaited.  I will be posting a picture soon, but we are just back from our mini moon and haven't had time to sort through all our pictures yet.

Last night I sat at my crafting desk for the first time in what felt like ages.  And here is my creation;

Supplies Used:
V&A brass stencil to create the flower and flourish
Stampin Up Sentiment and heart

Challenges Entered:
Less Is More

This weeks challenge at Less is More is quiet a tricky one, we have to CASE their site banner

I decided to use the flower and the flourish from the banner as my inspiration for my card.

I will be back later on today with another card, as it is my Dad's birthday today, so Happy Birthday Dad!
