I haven't managed any crafting - even though I did have some new stamps waiting on the mat when I returned, so thought I'd share this card which I didn't have time to blog before the holiday.
A Brusho background with some random script stamping and stencilling, a piece of the Tim Holtz Mixed media die cut which was rubbed with Creative Expressions Enchanted Gold wax. My butterfly, also has a vellum layer. The TH sentiment was stamped with Faded Jeans DI and clear embossed and the torn edges rubbed with the EG wax.
I am entering this at:
Country View Crafts - Shabby Chic
Make my Monday - Dry or Heat Embossing (both on my card)
The Craft Barn - Butterflies
Stamping Sensations - Dies and punches
That's it for now, hopefully I will get some crafty time to ink these rubber stamps up now that all the washing and ironing is done. Thanks for visiting,
Avril xx

Glad you had a lively holiday though a shame about your glasses! I always say God bless cheap readers LOL, carry 2 pairs & have another at the chalet in case - I deeded that spare pair last year when the using ones broke at the bridge!
Love your butterfly post & look forward to seeing more soon.
