Butterfly garden

Today I am sharing a stair/stepper type card using two lovely dies called

BUTTERFLY STRIP

and

FLOWER FRIENDS

So I started by cutting the Butterfly strip in white card twice.

I then scored a piece of yellow card for my base.

It measured 4'' x 4 1/2''

and I scored at 1 5/8'', 3 1/8'' and burnished the creases.

I then adhered one strip to the base as shown below.

Then one strip to the front as seen below.

I then cut 4 of the Flower Friends die, 2 in yellow, 2 in green

and cut away the flower from the green base so I could adhere it to the yellow ones.

I made two small slits in the middle of the base card

and slot in the Flower Friends.

I stamped and coloured the little girl image, which is from The Greeting Farm called Miss Anya Dressy,  and sat her in centre of back Butterfly strip.

And on the front I added a birthday sentiment.

A very quick and easy card!

I treated myself to the tattered lace tree die a few weeks ago and it arrived last week so had to use it. I cut it out in white and coloured it with promarkers. Its a big die and I just love it.

I am dosed with the cold at the minute and hubby is too but my daughter's friend from Germany is still having fun lol. They have been heading out each day to see the local sights and the weather has been warm and dry thankfully with the odd shower now and then.

I have my grandson coming to stay for a few hours today so that should be fun!! I am hoping the sun shines so I can get him out in the pram for a wee walk.

Have a nice day everyone and thanks for dropping by.

Happy April Fools Day, has anyone been caught out yet??

I can't believe it's going to be Easter this weekend, where has this year gone? A sure sign I'm getting old!

I have a card to share which was made for a little baby's first Easter.

I had to use these colours as they matched the present for the baby and I had to have 'apple of mummy's eye on there as well.

We had a brand new cinema open up here in Craigavon and last night my daughter, my daughter-in-law and myself went to watch Cinderella. Such luxury sitting in shiny new CLEAN seats lol and the chairs rocked!! We had a great night and the film, though predictable, was lovely to watch. It was a nice treat for my daughter in law as she is due in 3 weeks!! If I don't get back on here before Easter I hope you all have a lovely one. I have heard rumours that the sunshine is to return, so fingers crossed.
