Happy Saturday peeps and another challenge at Allsorts.And this weeks it's my turn to host the challenge and I have come up with the theme of "Petals and Pearls" a perfect way to think about all the lovely Spring blossoms that are bursting into flower. But you all know me, any excuse to use flowers on a project........the guys at Stampalot don't call me 'Botanical Brenda' for nothing I guess.
My card has been created using a new stamp from Magenta 40301P Butterfly Garden which I stamped with versafine black and embossed with detail clear onto a background created with Glimmer Mists sweet clover and tutti fruitti, two of the new limited edition colours. I coloured the blossoms with Marvy pens and stamped the larger butterfly again to cut out and decoupage. The left wing is not actually part of the stamp, so I drew it it to match the other side which seems to work OK. I tore the edges of the piece and distressed with Tim Holtz peeled paint.
The border is Martha Stewart eyelet lace and the swirls a Sizzix die cut through the Big Shot and finally pearls added to embellish.

You have done a beautiful job with this stamp Brenda, I am going to have to stop visiting, you should see my wish list...and yes it was your fault I got the Lavinia stamps...I just need to spend a day with you to show me how to use them...
I might just have to get Hubbby to bring me over to Sir Stampalot one of these day's...

Hello Brenda! It's been a while since I last visited and have just read about your daughter. Glad that she is making good progress! Sorry to hear that you have shingles. I have had it twice. The last time I had it it was really painful so I know what you are going through. Take it easy and get plenty of rest.
Just beautiful.
good news about your daughter but it sounds like the worry has brought on your shingles - so sorry.

Glad things are getting back to normal for you (if there is any such thing). Hope all the poorlies are doing well and you are giving that derriere a rest now and again. I love this beautiful card and your story (above) about your love eof fairies and butterflies.
Off to stay with my niece tomorrow and then we are going to a Sheena Douglas workshop in Kettering on Saturday.That means another week with no blog hopping but I think I'll be forgiven this time.
