Blooms, Bees and Butterflies


Morning Peeps, Saturday and a new challenge at Allsorts where Ellie is looking for Blooms/Bees/Butterflies. Our prizes come from SizzixAALL and CreateAldridge CraftsLavinia and Ruth Hamilton Design.

Above rather pink using ALL and Create WildflowerSplodges, Power of the Word and Miniatures.


This one used Ruth Hamilton Design Sunflowers coloured and cut out and added to a die cute frame.

Happy weekend all, I hope to be back to normality, crafting and 'proper' blogging very soon, meantime I continue virtually one eyed a bit like a pirate but without the eyepatch!

2 gorgeous cards, love the pop of pink with the butterflies and the fab splodges, and the sunflowers look great against your lattice work frame. Hope the eye treatment is working towards a satisfactory outcome now

Love the colours and design of the butterfly card, but the sunflowers stile my heart; so beautiful! Enjoy the weekend! (Hope we get some rain soon...)

Ciao Brenda, che design interessante e inusuale nella tua prima card! Adoro quelle farfalle con il pennino al posto del corpo e il cerchio bianco con il delicato stencil che maschera i fiori! E poi quel rosa così acceso e vibrante... Stupendo!
I girasoli stanno benissimo sulle fustellate a strati e adoro il dettaglio del fiocco con il sentiment!
Sono contenta di sapere che il tuo occhio sta andando meglio! Niente benda da pirata ma mi raccomando, tienilo chiuso e non cedere alla tentazione di barare! ;)
Buon fine settimana!!

The first one is so pretty with the beautiful butterflies and great use of the pen nibs. The sunflowers look lovely on your die cut background, a very fresh feel to it.

Two beautiful cards here Brenda. Especially love the cheerful yellow sunflower card with its happy sentiment.

I’d definitely get an eye patch & go round looking like a pirate, then make anyone who said anything awry go walk the plank at the tip of my cutlass!!! 🏴‍☠️ xxx

Both cards are just lovely! Great stenciling with those vivid butterflies, and I love the hexagons with those pretty flowers too. Hopefully your eye issues will soon be resolved favorably
