Butterflies and Flowers


Time for another Midnight Madness Challenge CDAC MMSC110.   I chose the fancy version this time, a very busy card.  The background is a cuttle bug folder which I applied Ranger Mustard Seed Distress Ink to, then ran it through my Wizard.  The leaves are a die cut from Marianne Design.  The butterflies were a stamp colored with markers onto glossy card stock, and then cut out.  The background papers and ribbon are from my stash.  The border punch is from Ek Success.  Small blue geo shape sparklers applied to the ends of the ribbon.  My purple ribbon might be a little too dark, but I like it.

Golfed this morning, great day, just enough breeze so that it was not too hot.  Sure could use some rain,  we seem to get too much rain all at once, or none at all.  Had a nice visit with my nephew, his wife and two little ones ages two and four over the weekend,  They are staying at his parents for 12 days, they are from BC so they were glad to see our sunny weather as they have had nothing but rain for quite some time.  They keep lots of umberellas & rain coats near the front door.  Seemed that last week was very busy, did not get too much done in the way of cardmaking - will have to see what this week brings.

Fair Fairy


This pretty digi is from A Day for Daisies.  I have paper pieced her with DP from Paper Boutique and colored her with copics.  The flowers are from Petaloo, Color Me Crazy and the leaves are a die cut from Marianne.  The stripes and flowers are colored with Memories Mists, Mango Lemonade.  The eyelets are from e-z set.  I am entering this in the CDAC Midnight Madness Challenge MMSC109.

Lady in Charge


This card is for the Bugaboo Whacky Wednesday Challenge.  Love their digis such a variety and some oh so funny.  The challenge was to use three buttons and no DP.
I colored the digi with copics, used a Spellbinders die cut behind the "lady" and for the sentiment.  Just plain purple cardstock for the background.  Used three buttons which I colored with my copics and added two red gems to her purple shoes.  The sentiment came with the image.  Tied it all together with a bit of embroidery thread.

Rained very hard about an hour ago, but there is a beautiful sunset beginning now.
