Flitter and Flutter with Jenny

Good morning to you all, time for our latest challenge over at CD SUNDAY

I hope you have been making the most of the weather recently and if the forecast is right we will be sizzling next week just in time for Wimbledon Fortnight.

Thank you for your entries in Carol's challenge, pop back in two weeks time to see who she has chosen for her Top 3.

This time it is Jenny's turn to choose and she would like you to

FLITTER and FLUTTER.

Lots of scope so I look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.

This is my DT Card

Flitter and Flutter meant to me 'Butterflies' I have a love for them so hoping they will be around the garden soon.

I used A5 Pearlescent Card for my base and printed directly onto it with a Design created in 

Craft Artist using a beautiful kit called 'Love Florals'

The picture may not show that I used two matching Backing Papers and added this gorgeous panel of flowers.

I then chose to use a few Butterfly Stamps from Stampin Up - Creative Elements for the large Butterfly which was stamped using Wisteria Wonder Ink again from Stampin Up.

The additional butterflies are from  Butterfly Basics and Papillion Potpourri Stamp Sets using Pool Party and Marina Mist Inks.

My sentiment is from Butterfly Basics Stamp Set also.

I really like how Centura Pearl combines with stamps and inks, it gives a muted effect.

I hope you like my 'take' on Jenny's choice.

Take a moment to pop over to CD Sunday to see my fellow team mates contributions, as always they have excelled.

Please remember to use something from a CD in your design and we do count Craft Artist as a CD as well as Digi Images from CD's. Just tell us which CD you have used in your design.

Four Legs and a Tail with Carol

Good morning to you all, did I hear someone say - It is Summer!!

As I am preparing my post for tomorrow's CD SUNDAY challenge it is raining and a bit cool.

Thanks for all your entries in our last challenge, Carol will post the Top 3 as chosen by Sue in the next post in two weeks time.

This time it is Carol's choice of theme for you and she gives you

Four Legs and a Tail

so lots of scope when you dig out those CD's you have stashed away.

My DT Card is quite simple and it is shown below

I chose to use a standard square card and printed the backing paper straight onto it.

Both the lovely image and backing paper come from

Pollyanna Pickering British Wildlife CD

The paper had a small border on the right hand side so I used a set of stamps from one of my Stampin Up stamps. The set is called Perpetual Birthday Calender which not only has the months of the year but also tiny stamps including the leaves shown above, flowers, splats, hearts, snowflakes, stars and butterflies to mention a few.

I used my Stampin Up Ink Pads in various colours for effect.

My main image has been printed onto Matt Photo paper, the border, additional leaves and small motifs are from the embellishment section on the CD.

It has grown on me as I wasn't sure at first if I liked it.

Take a moment to check out the challenge blog to see what beautiful designs the rest of the team have to show you.

Please remember to use something from a CD in your design and tell us which CD you have used.

See you all in two weeks
