Butterflies

This week's Less is More challenge is Butterflies ...

I embossed a piece of cardstock using this pretty folder, and then made the butterfly using some new mesh ribbon and some pearls.  I doodled the antennae. Finally I added some grosgrain ribbon and some contrasting flat backed pearls.

I have been at the Aintree craft show today and this is what I bought ...
 I am a happy girl.

And Jo got some friendly plastic ... she is a happy girl too!!!
