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

Hi Jackie,
what a very clever way to use those Butterflies.
All the lovely coloured butterflies are gorgeous.
Such a lovely card to receive too.
Very summery looking as well.
Hope your headache is better now as you said it must be stress.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Love it! Shabneez x
What 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!
I'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
Been a bit MIA - a little trip away and busy with family stuff too, so now trying to catch up with my favourite crafting friends!
What 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
