It seems like I've spent the last couple of days making a card, you know how it is at times, you keep cutting shapes, trying out different, shapes, colours,sizes....... before you know it, you can't find any dies as they are hidden under a huge pile of leftovers.
Anyway, this is what I came up with using up a lot of the pile, even the butterflies were ready stamped and coloured, part of a one layer experiment that went a bit wrong, they looked rubbish on the other card but how fab they look now they've been given their wings :) The numbers were cut using offcuts and Plantins Schoolbook.
It was one of the quickest cards I've made in a while, the most time consuming bit was removing the little squares from the backs of the foam pads. (don't those pesky things turn up everywhere lol!)
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
4 Crafty Chicks, Leaves,
Charisma Cards 37, Wings,
Delightful Challenges, Distressed,
In The Pink 4, Embossing,
LMM44, Not Square,

DBD53, Layers,
Fab n Funky 139, Wings,
PPC94, Shaped,

Thanks for stopping by,

What a great design! Saw this on Make it Monday. I also made a special number birthday card #264. or visit Scraps of Life
This is absoloutely gorgeous, which is praise indeed from me as I don't do Butterflies, now I don't dislike Butterflies, but I don't like them on cards and 98 percent of the images don't do them justice but these look really lovely and I love the whole of the card.
Also I have at times found the squares from the pads in my bed!

Stunning card! Love the vibrant colors of the butterflies. I too have a box of images already colored and ready for ....well....something....but NOT what I originally intended them for.
And those pesky pop-up backs....they take on a life of there own!
