This weeks challenge over at Less is More (Here) is shades of blue with the theme Winter Blues.
The thing that makes me blue about Winter is the lack of flowers, butterflies and the fact I can't take the dogs for beautiful long walks. Luckily we are in an area relatively unaffected by the flooding but our thoughts and good wishes go out to all the people affected.
Whilst I'm on the subject of the weather - I know I have quite a few followers in the US so I hope you are all safe and keeping warm with the dreadful weather you have over there! I would be grateful of some ice and snow - at least the dogs would be clean! But I don't envy you and my love goes to my family in the Mid West.
Here is my card for the challenge. I have used a non SU embossing folder as I am selling it and needed to show a sample. It has now gone! But all the other items are from Stampin' Up!
The butterflies are from Papillon Potpourri, punched out with the co-ordinating Elegant and Bitty Butterfly punches. The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness.
The blue ink is Pacific Point - which is a stunning shade of blue, contrasted here with Smoky Slate.
I hope you like my entry and remember if you would like to book a party I have evenings and weekends available. You can also place orders with me at any time - just use the Contact Me page to get in touch.
Take care and I'll be back soon!

A card for Jen... Simply Less Is More
This weeks challenge from the Simply Less is More team was to create a Birthday Card for the extremely talented Jen... we did get a hint that she likes butterflies so I have teamed up some of my favourites in the hope she will love it! Visit the blog Here.
I have used the new In-Colour - Crisp Canteloupe, as the scheme for the card... I stamped 3 images from Mosaic Madness. To get them in a straight line I measured and drew a VERY faint line in pencil, so I could rub it out, then lined up the stamp with my Stamp-a-majig.
The ribbon... well you'll notice it looks a lot like our SU Organza... But you'll not find it in different colours in the catalogue! Nope - I inked up a sponge dauber and wiped it along the satiny centre of the ribbon - how gorgeous and simple is that?
The sentiment is from Bring on the Cake and the butterflies are punched out of co-ordinating card stock with my Bitty Butterfly punch. I curled the wings slightly with a bone folder then added the Rhinestone Basic Jewels...
Please leave me a comment I love to hear what you think.
I just realised, thumbing through my catalogue, that I haven't used my new Very Vintage Designer Buttons... there's a challenge for tomorrow I think!
