Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Thank you so much for your visit, and the wonderful comments you make.
All went well with my DH hospital appointment yesterday.
He is making good progress, but has another hospital visit on Thursday for a heart monitor.
So on to my card, for this fortnights Butterfly Challenge a bit of late entry as it finishes in 10 hours time.
This is a 6"x6" size card.
I inked my background with DI, Peacock Feathers, Worn Lipstick, Milled Lavender, Cracked Pistachio.
I then stamped my pattern with Memento London Fog, and a Chloe stamp.
The butterfly is Penny Black stamp, and is also stamped with London Fog onto more card I coloured with DI.
I added some stickles to it, and some stamens for the antenna.
I used some coloured snippets of card for the die cuts, and the corners so I will be off to join the playground with this.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

Jenny, so pleased that your DH is making progress. Hope things are looking up for your family & health issues. Am loving this gorgeous butterfly. Beautiful colors and love the DI shades you've used in the background. The stickles patterns on the background look like pearl embroidery. So very pretty. As always, the insides are just gorgeous too. Glad you finished in time to visit Mrs A. Good luck on the appointment too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo glad that Tony is progressing. And it's good to see you in the Playground, for some reason I'd stopped following you, even though I use a Google account. Just signed up to follow you again! A beautiful card Jenny!
