Green butterfly

Hi all
A quick post today as I am feeling under the weather, I hope it doesn't turn into anything worse.

I had a great day at Ally Pally yesterday meeting the creative expressions team they are great people and the samples were wonderful.  I also bought the Groovi starter kit  from Clarity - I just hope I will be able to do it!!!

On to today's card green for my Mum as it was her favourite colour, who sadly passed away 13 years ago.

 For the background I've inked through the floral mask with a distress ink  then embossed with the CE star swirls classic adorned noble die in green and backed it with white, which I glittered with ice snow.
The happy birthday was from a mask and I used Glitzcraft silver embossing paste through it and cut it out with a Justrite die and inked through with distress ink.
For the finishing touches I used a Spellbinders butterfly which I gilded too and some CE ribbon finished off with my own hand made dazzler.

Have a great week and thanks for visiting.

Hi all and welcome to my first post on my blog.

This is an exciting time for me as I am using this blog to showcase my handmade cards.
I hope that you will find it useful and I hope you will stay long enough to write a comment.

As I work full time and I just craft as a hobby my aim is to blog at least once a week.





The card size is 7x7 I do like square cards they are one of my favourites to make so you will be seeing quite a few of them on my blog. I hope you don't mind too much !!!

I made this card for my friends birthday and she loved it!!



Sorry about the shadowing on the pics I will try harder next time lol xx
I hope you all have a great week xx
