Thanks a bunch....

Hi again, this is Susan. I have enjoyed making this card, I love working from sketches and this one is no exception.
All the edges of the backing papers and the image surround were distressed.
I have entered this card in a few challenges this week, I have listed them below.
All my favourite things were used here, butterflies and flowers, ribbon and lace. The colours I chose simply because they always remind me of spring when everything is coming alive.

The butterfly was taken from an Artylicious CD - Butterfly Bliss, and printed onto pearlescent paper, then cut out and decorated up. The label I made myself on the computer, the edges again were distressed before putting on the card.

This image is so cute, it is of course a Lili of the Valley Stamp, and being a cat fan is one of my favourite stamps to colour in. I used Pro-Markers to get my desired effect.
The lace and ribbons I get from my local market. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and with a few of my own blossoms thrown in.

The challenges I am entering this card with are:-

1. Lili of the Valley Sketch
2. Crafty Dragons - Aud Sentiments No. 2
3. Papertake Weekly - Say it with flowers
4. Sir Stamp Alot - May, Butterflies and Blossoms

Thank you for taking the time to look at my creation.

Love Susan

'Happy Birthday'

For this card I have used a swirly tree stamp by Kanban and stamped straight onto acetate. I used a nestabilitie die to make an aperture in the front of my main card and then attached the acetate image behind. The papers I have used are by Making Memories....

...I have glittered all my flowers and the the scalloped edge at the top of the card, the ribbons and buttons I already had in my stash...

I have crocheted my own flower and layered it with some other flowers that I already had in my stash, the sentiment was a really old 'rub on' that I have had for years!!

Thanks for looking
