Butterfly Day


Morning everyone,  first weekday after a long weekend, so I have the house to myself and lots of tidying to do.

This wonderful card I have to share with you today I made at Stampin Up get together on Friday night.
Yes, I finally got to put in an order for all the new cardstock colours.  Now I have lots of new names to learn.
Ruth was our lovely Stampin Up demonstrator and Gloria a terrific hostess.
We received all pieces of this card wrapped in brown paper and tied with a green ribbon.  A very clever idea on Ruth's part as the brown paper then became our paper that we stamped on and didn't mess up Gloria's table.

We started with a blank white card then added a layer of Melon Mambo.  Then a piece of Black topped with Crumb Cake.  We stamped the Crumb Cake with the wording stamp from the Stampin Up Strength and Hope set.  Then used flourish from the same set the along the bottom stamped in black.   The butterfly also from the Strength and Hope set was stamped using Melon Mambo and we added a bling to the butterly finish off.  Finished the card off with this beautiful black and white ribbon from Stampin Up.

Don't forget the Blog Candy being offered for the new Unstampabelles Challenge blog.  Which is all about 'No Stamps'.

 I would love to enter this card into the following challenge:
