Lemon and Lime DT card

Hello everybobs xx todays card is one I made for the Design team over on http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/

To make this i used the Papermania 'build a butterfly' stamp, one of my old favourites. coloured using promarkers in lemon and Lime hues to meet the theme of the challenge.  The butterfly is teamed with simple non fussy papers from the papermania capsule range. i decided on plain papers so as not to detract from the beauty of the butterfly which is the focal point.  the ribbons were from papermania capsule and the pearls from Kort and Godt.   the Lemon and Lime challenge is on for the next fortnight so if you fancy a challenge please join in xx

flutterby butterflyyyyyyyy...

Today was asked if i could make a card using lilacs or purples for a mother-in-law's birthday ... After having a root through my stash i came across these pretty Papermania Henbury Lane papers... ideal for the job!!
then i spent a good half an hour trying to get a decent cut from my Marriane butterfly die...gosh they are hard work!! if the die dosnt cut right through your card youve had it lol.... i coloured my butterfly using my purple shades of promarkers blending from a pink shade to darker purple then out again through to Lavendar. i added a touch of sparkle (which i always thinks looks nice on these butterflies) using light purple glitz it glitter glue. the flowers i arranged onto a piece of foam tape and again glitzed up with glitter glue to match xx

lets hope they like it !!!

and i did another with a slight variation to the theme to add to my box of cards xx
