How is your week going? Yesterday a lovely friend took me out for the day. Unfortunately I ended up with a really bad headache. I had to come home early and our evening plans were cancelled. I think the headache was a reaction to all the stress there has been lately. My mum is now home and she will be living upstairs. I am not sure if it is because of the dementia but she sleeps a lot.
Last week when I was making the wedding card with Butterfly Heart die set, from the John Next Door range from Crafts Too, I couldn't believe just how many beautiful butterflies there were that came away from the die. So being me the WASTE had to be made into a card.
I used my Hougie board to emboss the background.
I went a bit mad cutting more butterflies to add to the ones I already had.
This is a Crafter's Companion die.
There you have it quite a simple card to make. I couldn't let those butterflies go to waste.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Enjoy the rest of the week
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Jackie! I adore all those butterflies, which reminds me that I have a couple of dies coming up soon as a prize and one is teeny little butterflies! Oopsie - let the cat out of the bag there!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your headache will be stress induced and it's not surprising. I hope that life settles down for you soon. Your Mum is so lucky to have you.
Sorry I'm a bit late commenting!

Loving this card with the butterflies, great design
ReplyDeleteBeen a bit MIA - a little trip away and busy with family stuff too, so now trying to catch up with my favourite crafting friends!
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy this card is, all those lovely butterflies - you brought colour to a rather dull old day today, Jackie!
Such a pretty butterfly card with all the different textures and patterns for each. Really like the dimension on the wings too, very effective. Hope you are feeling better. Michelle x
