For a Lady at Stamping Sensations




The challenge this month at Stamping Sensations is For A Lady and Crafty Individuals are our sponsor and they are offering one Lucy Winner a £25 voucher to spend in their online craft store.

For my card I stamped CI 430 with a mix of colours - Speckled Egg, Weathered Wood and Peacock Feathers, each time using the Stamp Platform.  I shaded with Picked Raspberry, Speckled Egg, Kitsch Flamingo and Peacock Feathers.  The butterfly from CI 517 was stamped and fussy cut and coloured with Speckled Egg and the wings were brushed with Frosted Lace Stickles for a subtle sheen.

The rest of the DT have some fabulous samples, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will find details of our Sponsor  along with all the challenge rules.

Life has been very hectic - daughter Laura was rushed into hospital with Appendicitis, so the twins came to stay with us and also Laura for a couple of nights when she came out of hospital.  Good news is Son-in-Law was able to take time off this last week, so they all went home.  He's back at work tomorrow, so they're all coming back as she's not supposed to do any lifting for the next few weeks, so if I'm an absent visitor, you know what I'm up to.

Have a great day, I've got all the family coming for lunch, so I'd better make a start.

    Those pretty soft colours really do make for a very feminine card Avril.

    I hope all goes well this week and blogging should be right at the back of the queue.

    Gorgeous colors. I love using the speckled egg ink but have yet to try it with pinks. It’s a beautiful butterfly design.

    There is never a dull moment - Appendicitis is quite painful. The good news is that your daughter is doing well and that is one less worry - she will never have Appendicitis again!
    Your card is so delicate looking - the background colors are perfect for the butterfly.
    Stay well Avril!
