Good Afternoon my lovely crafty friends.
I hope all is well with you and you are having a good week so far.
I started a (long overdue) tidy up of my craft stash over the weekend. I am so pleased I did because whilst sorting through I came across the first stamp that I bought online - a few years ago now! I think I choose this sweet Sugar Nellie stamp because it reminds me of myself as a girl. I still have the same love of flowers and now I can see the resemblance to my youngest daughter. So, I decided to use this image for my Mum's Mother's Day card.
The gorgeous butterfly is from a stunning stamp set from Clearly Besotted Stamps, I think you are going to be seeing a lot more of these in the near future!
Items Used:
Stamp - Sugar Nellie Country Garden coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment - Docrafts
Butterfly - Clearly Besotted Elegant Butterflies and Die Collection
Papers - LOTV Always and Forever
Die-Namics Stitched Rectangles Stax
Seam binding, button and twine from stash.
I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
The Sugar Bowl - Mother's Day or Special Lady
CRAFT - Mother's Day/ For a Female
Crafty Ribbons -Anything Goes with Ribbon
In the Pink - Mother's Day/Card for a Special Lady (if not enough pink please feel free to delete!)
