Butterfly Birthday Wishes

Hi folks, hopefully I'm back!  I've been somewhat busy lately with plenty of company, grandkids and lots of numbers!  Working during the day on financials doesn't leave me with much mojo in the evenings, soooo I'm going to switch it all around.  Seeing as I work from home, I'm going to craft in the daytime and work in the evening.....  We'll see how it goes!

For this card, I've made the DP using brown ink and the Antique Flower background stamp from Hero Arts.  Then I've sponged with two colours of distress ink, orange and blue.  Using black ink, I've added the Butterfly Scroll stamp from Inkadinkado.  The outer edges of the card blank are also sponged with the same blue DI, and then, just a silver peel-off border and four gems for the corners.  Nice and simple to make!

Hopefully you can take away something different from this post, and check out these challenges for some more inspiration.   Thanks for your visit and lovely comments, and be sure to have yourself a wonderful day!

    This is absolutely gorgeous Joyce, such beautiful colours and a great combination of stamps.
    Seems like you are really busy at the moment and I wonder how you will do crafting during the day. If I do that I don't want to give up to do reports in the evenings!!!!
    The NEC is a huge centre in Birmingham and there is a big craft show there for 4 days. I will be taking my birthday money woo hoo.
    Take care.
    luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox

    What a beautiful card Joyce, your mojo must have been around the day you made this one!!
    I tend to craft during the day also. I dont work but like to craft when the kids are at school as i have no chance once they are home!! I also craft a lot during the night because i dont sleep, most of my favourite cards are made during the night!

    Anyway i will stop talking now and thank you for joining us at craft us crazy for our celebration challenge!
