Butterfly blossoms



Morning Peeps, it's Saturday so that means it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts and this week Susan would like us to add a name or number to our work. Our sponsor is Marianne Designs.

This was a card I made for the Mother of one of our DIL's, she had a bad fall back in May and broke her hip, recovery has been slow and has been in hospital for some time so I thought this might cheer her a little.  I started by computer generating her name and sentiments onto a sheet of linen cardstock, first measuring the spacing to allow me to cut a square aperture in the centre using a TL die.

The focal image is PB Magnolia Rhapsody, it's one of the new releases from earlier this year and I absolutely adore it and have used it many times. I used Distress Markers to ink the stamps and spritzed with water before repeat stamping. Some soft stenciling in the background and a Chocolate Baroque Butterfly.

Happy weekend all.

    That's a glorious blossom stamp - and your watercolour stamping of it makes it shine all the more. Such a lovely card, and I'm sure it will cheer Erica up in her recuperation.

    Oh, this is adorable and so sweet! I'm sure that the Mother of your DIL's will smile seeing it! Love the delicate feel and the soft colours of the back that compliment so well the lovely flowers and that stunning butterfly!
    No rain here, no one single drop! :( But in North Italy there was a lot of rain and also some snow on the mountains, yesterday!
