Cards With Butterflies

I just love butterflies and more often than not I seem to add at least one on my cards.

So here are a few more cards with butterflies.

Thanks for looking.

Embossed Card

Couple of cards using Hero Arts Poppy stamp and heat embossing. On the first card I used digi paper in the background before stamping and heat embossing it. Then I distress inked the card. Of course the embossed areas resist the ink. I quite like the way it looks. On the second card I used pattern paper and then embossed the card.
Jennifer McGuire has some great videos on heat embossing in her blog. Check out her blog HERE

A bit of shabby chic

A shabby chic Birthday card on which I used fab papers from October Afternoon Thrift Shop collection. Vintage images are from the net.   Thanks for looking.                           

A few more Christmas Cards

Doily Project

A while ago I saw this great doily project on Christine Middelcamps blog and I just knew I had to try and make one. You can check out Christines fab blog Here .
Unlike Christine who used 16 doilies I went for only 9. I also saw this project on Wendys  fab blog as well and you can check out her improvised version Here, she did only 9 and that seemed an easier number to start with.
I have mainly used October Afternoon paper, MSE butterfly stamps, Melissa Frances Rub ons, Cosmo Cricket Tiny Types and some October Afternoon stickers.
Sorry about the bad pic, lighting not so good. I took some pics yesterday, but my other memory card packed a sad and I can't access anything on the card.
