BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE NO 59......................P IS FOR PUNCHES AND OR/ PINK


Hi and welcome to all my craft loving friends, and visitors.
Just managed to make this today for the Butterfly Challenge.
Now this made me think as I don't have any punches that are butterfly shaped.
I know your all shouting it doesn't have to be a butterfly punch well I knew that, but still I was at a quandary what punch to use, because of a on going  eye problem I can't see to line up the edger punches of which I have a few.
So I had a light bulb moment, and remembered I had a Martha Stewart set of circular punches which were languishing in a bottom draw in my craft room.
 So here is my card to enter the challenge.



This is a 8"x8" size card.
I used the Martha Stewart Modern Lace circular punch.
Threaded some ribbon through the design.
The butterfly is a very old wooden stamp I have had for ages, and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder, and then coloured it with Colour  Cloud Inks, and used a Quickie glue pen and Glamour Dust to give it some sparkle.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

    It's a gorgeous card, and I love your idea with the circles & ribbon. It's just beautiful, & clever on your part to think of doing this as a background for this lovely sparkling butterfly. I love how you think out of the box when you're creating! Hugs & Happy Sunday. TFS

    So pretty. The circular punch was a great idea and reminds me that I have one too. The colours are lovely and so is that design paper. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered for the prizes twice. Hugs Mrs A.

    Hi Jenny, Thank you for noticing our outfits Mrs A gets them on our behalf from the local Hospice shop. They all fit perfectly and have hardly ever been warn. Most of them have a label inside which says 3-6mths so that must mean how long they have had them for sale!! hugs Norm.
