Sherry hay - Winner

Hi Everybody,

Yes!  another week has gone by and we are already into February. They say time goes faster the older you get and in my case it is whizzing past at a great rate of knots. I try to keep active and Ruby and I are going walking today, with my family, while it is fine. 

We are going to Lytham Hall and we usually stop in the café for coffee and cake at the end of the walk.
It is a good distance and we natter all the way round to catch up with each others news.

Flowers & Butterflies

Hi Everybody,

The flowers and the butterflies on this card are from the Perfect Panels and Lovely Layers Collection and they have been added to a background of Elegant Nestable Rectangles.

I have chosen two shades of pink ink and a white theme for my card and the end result is an A5 sized base that looks really pretty once completed.

It will need a box to add it to, but that is no problem with the A5 Complete Card & Box die set.

I have used foam tape to give height to the layers in the card and the flowers are also raised with foam pads.

The butterfly base is cut in gold card with a white overlay, and is attached by the centre bodyline only so that the wings can be raised off the card for effect.

Some of the leaves have also been cut in the gold card and slotted behind the display of flowers.

Add the sentiment of your choice and this card could be used for any different occasions.
