How are you today?
Did you survive the storm? Horrid Henry!
It was very windy last night, I don't know how my boys slept but they did, the wind was howling around the roof. I was grateful to be tucked up in bed, warm and cosy but did feel very sorry for any folk on the streets at this time, brrr.
The card I am sharing today was a request by a friend, a flower and butterfly with a pastel theme.
This is what I came up with. I do enjoy a little paper piecing and this is one of my all time favourite stamps to use.
The stamps are by Hero arts, Big flowers. I have used scraps of pink and green papers from my stash then added a pink satin know with a butterfly charm. The printing was done on the computer then I matte and layered the card with matching pink and white card stock.
Finally adding a bit of bling to the centre of the flower to finish.
Today I have decided to enter this card into the snippet challenge over at Pixie's Crafty workshop. I am really bad linking to challenges but a couple of you lovely ladies mentioned in your comments that I should, so thank you and I have. Will I manage to keep up with the challenge throughout the year, that maybe another issue.
I braved the wet and windy weather this morning to go to work and had a good day, lots done in the short time I was there. It's time now for me to go and feed the munchkins or they'll be moaning about being starving.
I hope you have had a good day and maybe enjoyed a little crafting time?
I might start a little crocheting after tea, mmmm what to make?
What a pretty crd Erika. I really like paper piecing and this flower stamp is lovely. Glad you joined in at Pixie's.

Oh this is lovely Erika! What a perfect stamp for your beautiful paper piecing! And a huge welcome to the Snippets Playground - I do hope you manage to come and play each week :) Or perhaps just regularly anyhow. The rules are minimal and all you need to do is to include a snippet somewhere on your entry (maximum of three per week). It can be snippets of paper/card, ribbon, lace, wool - you name it, most of the girls have tried it!
