Hello everyone...............hope you are having a lovely weekend and to those who celebrate Easter I wish you a very happy one xx I just can't believe how quickly the months are disappearing !!! It seems no time since Christmas.
The clocks have now sprung forward, which means lighter evenings and hopefully warmer weather is coming our way.
Today I am sharing a birthday card made recently for a dear friend.
Lots of stencilling in the background and you can see the lovely die by Sue Wilson taking centre stage. The butterfly is a die cut and embossing folder from the Tim Holtz range for Sizzix.
Have a wonderful weekend and a great week
Huge hugs
The frame and the butterfly are gorgeous together Annie and look fabulous taking centre stage on that wonderfully stencilled background. Love your card and I bet your friend does too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog - I really appreciate that. ( I have to answer via your blog, as you have a no-reply blogger account)
ReplyDeleteHi Annie. Thanks so much for your lovely comments you've left on my blog. I love reading them and taking them to heart. I love your card you're showing on your blog. The colors are lovely together. I see Tim's new "plus" stencil! I also like your text pieces. I particularly love that gorgeous butterfly in the center of that lovely lacy die cut. Really striking!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love the colors and the die cut and butterfly are a perfect focal point. I know your friend loved it too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous birthday card. Love the bold butterfly as your focal point and all your other color choices too.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I am with you with wondering where time has gone. Well in our case the two house situation is where. I so love the ornate frame for the gorgeous butterfly. Love the warm spring colors and design. Happy Friday and sending hugs from CA.
