Flutterby, butterfly

Hi everyone,
Today's posting is very short, as my Father is moving house on Thursday morning, and there is so much to do...  It's all come at once, as I've been asked to make another couple of cards for a 2nd birthday and a 50th, so I'm not sure where I'm going to fit going to work in.... hahahaha..
I made this sunday afternoon whilst hubby and a our son (visited) watched the footie together downstairs.
Anyhow, this card is a 6" square.  I've used lilac and turquoise paper from a 'hot off the press' pad that I've had for absolutely ages. I tore lilac vellum, punched a piece of cream cardstock with an oval punch and coloured it in pink.  I used a lovely big butterfly peel off, mounted onto card, cut around it and coloured it in using sakura gel pens. I then mounted it onto the oval card.  I punched a flower in turquoise vellum and a little embellishment on the top that I had in my crafty box - done and dusted!!  Would love to have made more but afraid time has run away... once again...

Well, be back soon hope you'll join me again.  Dee xx
