Saturday's Offerings

Its Saturday, and time for another Less is More challenge .. .I think I am getting better at these ... slowly!!!  Anyway this week is One Layer week, with the additional aspect, things with legs.
I ued one of my TH dies and cut a butterfly out of the card blank, and then inked it in cranberryink.  I stamped the Lavinia butterflies and added a sentiment ... simple really, and I like the effect.

This is how I did the butterfly ...
 I put  a post-it note over the card blank and die
 So it looked like this after I had run it theough my CB.
And with the mask in place I inked the butterfly up.

Challenges:
Stampin for the weekend - Wings and Things
Trully Scrumptious - Things with wings
Stamp Something- butterflies and bugs
Allsorts - free and easy
One Stop Crafts - summertime (butterflies!)
Totally Gorguss - Summertime (butterflies)
Cupcake Craft Challenge - single layer card

And here is a card I made last night ...
This cute hAnglar is coloured in copics and promarkers.  The dp is magnolia and Pink petticoats, and the fab crocheted flowers are from my fantastic friend Jo ... I need more (hint gint!!). I added spacers and pearls to the centre, some lace and a doilly.


Challenges:
For Fun - Crochet flowers
Fab n Funky - purple haze
Just Magnolia - sketch
Cute Card Thursday - lace


I am on kitten duty today again .. .its amazing how confident he has grown in the last week!!  Into everything and very playful ... Miffy is still a bit miffed but is coming round slowly!!
