Morning and time for the card swap challenge reveal and 22 cards were exchanged. This card was a little hurried as Son was back in hospital with same symptoms as Christmas but thankfully feeling much better.
The background was a recycled pre-coloured postcard from Visible Image received with a purchase so I won't be entering any challenges with this card- but the two smaller butterflies was a Chocolate Baroque stamp and I paper pieced them with Crafters Companion papers.
My card was sent to Wendy in R.IE and I used the colour option.
Edit-I have just received the beautiful card and handmade gifts from Mia on the last day of the month.

ReplyDeleteOh Carol, you absolute gem! π Just popping by (finally vertical after a string of night shifts and 14 cups of tea) to say a massive THANK YOU for the stunning card. Honestly, the photos on your blog are lovely, but in real life? It's like the card put on its Sunday best and showed up with a box of Roses. I genuinely gasped. You’ve such a gift, and your timing was perfect—it gave me a lift right when I needed it most. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSending a big virtual squeeze from my little Irish village—where the sheep outnumber the people and the postie now thinks I’m emotional over junk mail π

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. It is great to recycle like that and it looks fabulous with the addition of the butterflies.
