I am trying out new blogger I am not sure that I like it much. How are you getting on? The weather has been lovely. Our garden is proving to be a delight. Last year we treated ourselves to a table and chairs set for the garden. This year we have been able to have a lot of meals outside.
My friend's birthday was a week ago. The present I ordered came yesterday and we delivered it on our walk this morning.
Here is the card I made for her. The background is some inky kitchen roll stuck to card.
This is the Butterflies in Flight Mini Striplet die from Creative Expressions. I cut the separate butterflies and put them behind the panel to make the butterflies stand out. I cut three of them to fill the card.
I added the sentiment to the card.
As I didn't have the present I decided to make a matching book mark. The die set seems to lend itself to making bookmarks. I was lucky that there were enough leftovers to make it. My friend loved her card and bookmark and was very understanding about the delay with her present.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
I hope that you have a good weekend.
Take care and stay safe.
Really gorgeous card Jackie, I love the die used so pretty.
