Mothers Day Butterflies

Good Morning Everyone, 

How are we all?

Today I have for you another mothers day card. 

This one is one I made for my mum. 

I went with a nice blue and white colour combination and love how the colours have worked together, as I didn't have the correct colour blue that I was wanting in my craft stash I used an ink pad, some water and cut and dry foam, and created my own colour that I wanted. 

The card is a white 8x8 card base and matted with square blue and white embossed card, I then used my grand nestabilities to cut the shape mats out, I used the largest two from the set. 

The sentiment "Mam with love on Mother's Day" was printed from the computer and cut out using nestabilities. 

The flowers and leaves were cut from the cameo machine and the butterflies from the cricut machine. 

To finish the card I added gems to the butterflies and to the center of the flowers.

Guest Designer - Through The Craft Room Door

Good Morning Everyone, 

Today I am showing you a card I have made for the Through The Craft Room Door Challenge. I have been lucky enough to be selected to be a Guest Design Team Member for this weeks Challenge. 

This week's challenge is sponsored by Rick St Dennis and I was giving Joanie The Flower Child Digi Stamp to use for my card.

I must admit I groaned when it come through I really didn't know what I was going to be doing with her, so I just went and had a play. 

Picked my papers and then coloured her in using the colours to match the papers. 

I have used Grand Nestabilities Label 23 for the card design and a oval xcut medium size to cut around the image, I cut the butterfly from my cricut machine, and used the same colours that I used for my top for the butterfly, this gave the butterfly lovely texture. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder on the top layer called Bloom Dots.

I hope you like and I do hope you will pop over to Through The Craft Room Door Challenge and join us for this weeks challenge - Always Anything Goes.
