Winter's Butterfly


Hello all, seems I prepared the challenge post and totally forgot one for my own blog, so for speed I've grabbed the content from that with just a few additions. Our mid month inspiration at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge follows Pinky's 'Add some Texture' theme which also has the usual Anything Goes option.

We want to let you know about a change which is that in future Bookmarks will also be accepted as entries. We often see them entered and most look so similar to Tags that going forward we will welcome them as entries.

My tag above has lots of stencilled sparkly textural snowflakes but the sparkle just doesn't show up in the photo I'm afraid. The Butterflies are A&C and the sentiment many years old, no idea of the make as the writing on the wood has worn off. Just us Girls has Winter as it's word, so linking up there and also Word Power with the focal sentiment.


My ATC has a inky background and texture paste brickwork, some TL die cut flowers and the little couple of sweeties are TH ephemera, don't you just love his suite? Would like to enter the above at Creative Artiste Mixed Media and as there are flowers, Ellies current Garden Party.

Have a good weekend everyone.

  11. The stencilled sparkly snowflakes on your tag sound so festive, even if the shimmer is hard to capture in photos, and the butterflies add such a graceful touch. I really like how the ATC contrasts with its inky background and textured brickwork, with the TL flowers and TH sweeties bringing in both charm and character. The mix of texture and detail across both pieces makes the theme come alive beautifully.
