Wow hasn't it been a scorcher. I got up early this morning hoping to get out in the garden, but I don't know if you remember, in the heavy winds a couple of months back some of my ridge tiles flew off the roof. They were put back temporarily and the builders said they would be back when the weather turned better. Well guess who turned up at 8.30 this morning. I couldn't get out in the garden as there were bits of mortar flying all over the place so I could only do what a girl's gotta do and make a card.
A bit of a different style for me, no stamping or colouring in to be seen.
Butterflies - Martha Stewart Punch
Papers - Bo Bunny 'Gabrielle'
Embossing - Swiss Dots
Sentiment - Whimsy Stamps
gems from stash
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Crafts 4 Eternity - Wonderful Wings
Fairy Tale Challenge - Things with wings
ATCs and Cards with Attitude - Butterflies and Blooms
Tuesday Alchemy - Beautiful Butterflies
I did manage a bit of gardening this afternoon but only in short bursts, too bloomin' hot.
Don't forget you still have a week to join in with the Nutcrafters Challenge and as it is my turn to host it I would love to see some of my bloggie friends joining in. You don't have to use a Nutcrafters image but we would love it if you did. Its a nice and easy challenge this week to use 3 different backing papers

Very effective with your layout & the way you picked out the orange with the gems. Interesting what an impact the use of white has. Hope all the flying mortar is safely under control.
