Flowers...

Our challenge at My Time to Craft this time is yes you guessed it 'Flowers'.  Yeah the sun is shining - there are daffodils everywhere and I've just booked my next holiday!  Thank goodness we are getting near to the end of winter - it seems like it has been a long one this year!
My card is a very simple one that took no time at all to do.  I used one the Create a Card dies by Die-sire to cut out the main image - mat and layered it and added some gems.  Bish, bash bosh done as my lovely blogging friend Max would say.

Do check out some of the stunning cards my team mates at My Time to Craft have created and hopefully join in with this fun challenge too.  Just remember though entries with just a tiny flower embellishing the main image don't count the card has to be really floral.

Keep it simple...

Oh my sometimes I find these cards the hardest in the world to do, but I keep trying.  The stamp I've used for this is by Judikins and one that I've had for an eternity.  I remember being desperate to buy it and then due to work etc not having time to use it.   Yeah now all the gorgeous stuff I bought when I was money rich and time poor can be put into action!
To begin I stamped the butterfly onto the base card and then made a mask so that I could add the swirls. Then using some amazing matching papers I stamped the butterfly out and paper pieced it on top.
I embossed a frame around the central focus and then added corner peel offs to emphasise the frame.  A peel off sentiment finishes the card.

Challenges...

• The Craft Barn - Keep it Simple - oh no just been to link this and I've messed up (again) - I should have a flower and a sentiment on the card - eek !!
• NBUS - never - before - used - schtuff - hmmm could do with this being an ongoing challenge as I have an embarrassing amount of NBUS

• A bit more time to Craft - anything goes

Have a good day everyone.
