Flutterbies...

The first challenge I have completed as a design team member of cards galore is Butterflies and although there are many stampsets to chose from I did find this quite difficult - I love butterflies but often find it difficult to create something I am pleased with - I am sure that many of us feel the same! with many of the things that we are creating! The card that I have created today is using a whisper white card blank with the colours basic black and rich razzleberry. I added a black panel to the card blank and then on top of this added a rich razzleberry one. On this I then added a very vanilla panel to add a little contrast and this was also textured card.

At the top of this panel I stamped the crest stamp from hope and strength and and also chose the words from this set - they are beautiful... At either side of this I stamped a butterfly and then I inked the edges of the panel. I also created a bookmark in the same colours using the same butterfly and I have just added a piece of linen to add a little detail to the bottom.
I am very excited for the journey I am undertaking with the challenges from cards galore and cannot wait to see where my crafting takes me this year! I hope you like my card and this inspires you to take part in our monthly challenge! Have a look at the design team members creations they are great. Thanks for looking - Debbi x
