Creative Inspirations #74 & Crafty Creations #81


Hi girls, Tuesday again, and getting into the week again. I'm so glad you have taken time to call in and I hope you like what you see here.
I made this card for two challenges. Creative Inspirations who gave us a wonderful sketch to follow and Crafty Creations who wanted "Butterflies" . The image is Magnolia's "Fairytale - Elf Tilda" coloured using my Copics and Polychromos Pencils. The papers are My Mind's Eye's "Pretty Please", one that was free with a magazine and Bazzil Bling as a mount. The butterflies (difficuly to see on the photograph because the are quite sheer) are cut with a Martha Stewart punch. The flowers are handmade and the ribbon and glitter are from my stash.
I hope you like this card and look forward to reading your opinions on it if you are kind enough to leave a comment.

Two Awards - 1 New, 1 Old

I have been given this award by Claire over at Claire's Crafty Corner and Karen over at Cakes, Cards and Crafty Bits. Thank you so much Claire and Karen for thinking of me and for the kind words on your blogs. The conditions in accepting this award are to give 3 facts about myself, post a picture I love and pass this award on to 5 others.

The three facts are
1. I have been married 40 years.
2. I love Indian food.
3. I love flowers and beautiful gardens.

As for the picture I love - and this is not an excuse - all my cherished photos are on Williams desktop PC which is now disconnected and set aside and he is still to download the photographs so I'll have to pass on that one. Please forgive me.
I would like to pass this on to the following people:-

Linda at Payne Holler Cards
Chris at Twinkles Glow with Stamps
Cheryl at My Cardmaking Haven
Carolyn at Stamping, Scrapbooking and Card Hobbyist
and
Jackie at Jackie Thomas

The second award was given to me by Sylvie over at Gibmiss. Thank you so much Sylvie for your thoughtfulness. I was given this award a few days ago and passed it on then but I was restricted to 7 people to pass it on to so I would like to add the following people now:



Kat at Lilackat
Lesley at Pinkle's Dreams
and two young girls who have set up blogs recently
Georgina at Georgina's Craft Dream

Thank you for calling in today and giving me you time. I hope you have a great day and stay safe and healthy.
Love and Hugs,
