Allsorts challenge week 628 - Butterflies/Bugs

 Good Morning, our challenge this week has been chose by our lovely Wendy and she would like to see....

Butterflies and or Bugs on your creations.

Our prize this week are these two lovely items from Craft Stash.

 



The backing papers are from LOTV, which has butterflies on them.

The die was free in a magazine, to be honest I really don't like saying that something is free from a magazine as you actually pay for the magazine, and they are not cheap these days, more adverts than  ideas too, but this was quite a few years ago. 

I cut them out from silver glitter card and then filled them in with paper that I thought went quite well with the background.

Blogland seems to be very, very quiet at the moment.

It is my lovely Nephews 50th Birthday on the 15th and all being well we are going down to Sutton-On-Trent to see him for a small family Bar-B-Que, weather permitting. We haven't seen him for over 12 months with Covid. He loves cooking, so we have bought him a cheese making thing and some herb plants as he also loves using herbs in his cooking and he also likes gardening. Hope the weather is kind.

Thank you so much for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave. Looking forward to seeing your 'Butterfly creations and please do pop over to the challenge blog to see the creations from the team.

ps. Think Blogland's slow too. If it's anything to go by, at my end it's getting that you seem to need a degree to understand the new ways they seem to have thrown at us! I'm spending a lot of time just looking at the screen saying 'WHAT!!!!!'

I think everyone is making the most of the weather, we waited a long time for the sun to shine.
I hope you have a lovely time at the Bar-B-Que.

Ellibelle said...

Beautifully done, Kath! Love the sparkles! I agree there are so many ads in magazines these days! I purchased one a few weeks ago thinking about subscribing if I liked it, but decided against it.
Hope the weather will cooperate and that you get to see your nephew!

You have had a clever idea matching those sparkling butterflies with that butterflies patterned paper, they works so well together!
Have a lovely meeting and BBQ with your nephew and family, surely will be fabulous!

Liz said...

Beautiful card Kath, the lovely paper makes a great background for your sparkly butterflies. Enjoy the family BBQ, fingers crossed the weather stays fine for you. xx

Hi Kath, I hope you get to enjoy your family bbq, I can't keep up with what is happening in so many countries re covid lockdowns. We had two people with Covid travel through NSW and they got picked up in Qld infected which has put every country town they stopped at under threat for the next two weeks. Other wise no local infections in NSW, only those in hotel quarantine... I love your butterfly card, the sparkle looks great. Have a wonderful week... Thanks for well wishes for Mum, doctors expect 6-12mth recovery... Megan

Tracy said...

I love your sparkly butterflies, gorgeous creation.
Happy crafting

Vicky Hayes said...

This is so pretty Kath! I love the colours you've used and the paper makes a perfect background for your larger butterflies. I think people buy the craft magazines just for the freebies now don't they, so essentially you're buying a craft product and getting magazine content as the freebie! I've also noticed it being quiet in Blogland - but then I've been busy with outdoors things myself so maybe it's that. I hope you had a lovely time with your nephew and the family yesterday. You certainly did get the weather! Vicky x

Hi Kath

Your card is lovely.

You can't beat butterflies if you want a pretty card.

I hope you enjoy the BBQ at the weekend. Your present sounds just perfect for your Nephew. I hope he has a happy day.

Love Jules xx
