Buttons and Bows Butterfly

 It's Monday which means there is a new challenge at Dream Valley Challenges ...

There's no sponsor this week - the challenge is just for fun.

The theme is:

BUTTONS  AND  BOWS

As always the design team have come up with some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing - here's my card:

What I used:

Butterfly die - free with SC&P magazine

Vellum - from stash

Button - from stash

Bow - unbranded embroidery thread

Greeting die - unbranded

I'm entering this card into the challenges at:

Dragonfly Dreams April - use a die

Ellibelle's Corner #14 - something with wings

My Time To Craft #532 - Everything dies

Cut It Up Challenge #32 - starts with a 'B'

Creative Friday #358 - insects

As You Like It - clean or fussy? Clean by a mile! I love the expanse of space that makes a simple image or die pop from the card. 

So have a pop over at the Dream Valley Challenge Blog to see some more lovely inspiration from my teamies on the design team and have a chance at winning a prize.

Thanks for visiting

Today's card is for my Birthday box rather than a specific Birthday - it's useful to have a pile of ready made cards!

The papers came with the April 2014 issue of Making Cards Magazine (now defunct) so they are almost vintage! I used cream linen textured card for the base and for matting the image and greeting. Finally, I used two tiny pearl stars (which I found today in the wedding section of a pound shop!) as embellishments.

I'm playing along with the challenges at:

Crafting Happiness #171 - D is for dogs

Penny's Paper-crafty Challenge #570 - AG

Daring Cradmakers - something old (papers) something new (pearl hearts)

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2416 - AG

Time Out Challenge #262 - photo inspiration
