Image and backing paper from Joanna Sheens Jayne Netley Mayhew CD, these have been sitting in my bit box for goodness knows how long just waiting to be put to good use. I haven't used a sentiment yet as I haven't decided whether I'll use it for FIL's birthday or Father's Day.

Butterflies

Spent a lovely afternoon relaxing in the sunshine in the garden with my pile of craft magazines - it felt so good after years of owning and running holiday parks to be at home on a Bank Holiday - retirement = bliss.

Made a couple of quickie cards from my bit box this evening, the first for the CD Sunday challenge of butterflies.

Both the image and the backing paper came from Joanna Sheens Jayne Netley Mayhew CD. I have layered up the butterflies to give them some dimension and highlighted the wings with a Sakura stardust gelly roll pen. Card is finished with a knotted ribbon and some pearls.

Card for a Centenarian

Was the remit from my Mum to give a male aquaintance. I hope this fits the bill!

I've used an image and backing paper from Joanna Sheens Jayne Netley Mayhew CD all printed onto pearlescent paper. The gold mirri card is embossed with a flourish embossing folder from Creative Expressions. Sentiment stamp from LOTV. Card is finished with some ribbon, a bow, a button, some peel off corners and some gems.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Bunny Zoes - One for the Boys

Little Claires - Animals

And that's all for today folks, many thanks for taking the time to look and comment - I do appreciate it.
