More Butterflies.

Oops sorry this is late I have been in bed all week with a reaction from the spider bite or the strong antibiotics. Luckily my card was made while I had all the paper pieced butterflies made for last two cards.

We have a new One of More Butterflies challenge at Dragonfly Dreams chosen by Claudia.

Stamps were from Chocolate Baroque and paper pieced the butterflies with Crafters Companion papers, border strips from same papers and the sentiment circle stickers were from a sheet in my journal.

Hope you are feeling much better and that you aren't bitten again,love your choice for background papers and those used to paper piece the butterflies

Wendy R. said...

Oh Carol, this card is absolutely fly! πŸ¦‹πŸ’™ Your blue butterflies are fluttering perfection—so soft, so elegant, so utterly swoon-worthy! As a fellow butterfly fanatic, I’m glowing with wing envy over here. The composition is just spot on—like they landed exactly where they were meant to. Pure magic!

But eek—a spider bite AND strong antibiotics?! That’s just creepy-crawly chaos! 😱 I hope you're starting to feel more like your fabulous crafty self again. Sending you heaps of healing vibes, a cuppa, and a giant bar of chocolate (virtually delivered, of course).

Take it easy and rest those wings!

Such a beautiful card Carol, a lovely design and those blue butterflies are gorgeous! Hope you are feeling better now, sometimes the antibiotics can cause worse symptoms than what they're meant to be curing!

Oh no, so sorry to hear you have been poorly. I hope you are on the mend now. You don't hear about spider bites much i this country, but I got bitten once and it was jolly sore. Your butterfly card is great. Love the graduated effect xx

Great! Your card fits perfectly with our current challenge at Everybody Art Challenges. Your butterflies are simply fantastic. I love the layout, from the largest butterfly to the smallest. And I also really like the monochrome blue color scheme. It's simply something special and looks absolutely beautiful. The border stripes perfectly round off this beautiful card.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Uschi

Beautiful butterfly card, love the strips of paper at the edges, frames it nicely

Lisa said...

Such a stunning arrangement of butterflies—the monochromatic blue tones create a beautifully serene effect. The way you've paper-pieced them adds wonderful texture, making each one feel distinct yet harmonized within the design. That background complements them perfectly, tying everything together with a sense of movement and elegance. Hoping you’re feeling much better now and able to enjoy more creative time.

Hi Carol, sorry this is so late I realise I have somehow not seen your last few posts .. don’t know what’s happened! Hopefully by the time you read this you are recovered from the bite .. it looked very nasty in a pic you posted. This is a gorgeous card, I love the stacked butterflies, it is like a picture you would hang on the wall xx
