Butterflies from Little Claire!

Hello Friends and Visitors,  I hope you are well and enjoying some warm sunny weather, we are today thankfully.  I hope it keeps up as Alistair and his pals are away for one of the many "traditional" canoeing trips, they left yesterday and won't be home till Monday.  A glorious few days on my own!!!

Thank you for the kind comments on my Santa card, I do appreciate them.  I would like to offer a warm welcome to Tina, my latest follower, I hope you will keep visiting and like what I do.

Well I can hardly believe we are into May, frightening how time is speeding by, and almost a week since our Choral concert.  It went very well and a pretty full house too, but come Sunday my voice was croaking like a very old frog.  Alistair made the most of my quietness.  It was a very long sing, in fact my DH said it was way too long for him and at one time dozed off, cheek of it! Obviously he's run out of sweeties.  Anyway, I now have my Monday evenings free until we resume rehearsals in August.

I have a card  today;

This card was made with the latest Little Claire Club Stamps and what a beautiful set it is.
I decided to use one of the butterfly stamps as you can see, on the card front, and a tiny one on the inside.

I am sorry that the photo is a wee bit blurred, I hope you can  make it out.

Now I didn't think up this design myself, I saw a design somewhere on my travel through blogland, very similar to this but using stamped flowers.  I thought it was lovely and when these stamps arrived I thought I would try it.  So thanks to the crafter who was my inspiration.

I stamped the butterflies along the card then cut around them, coloured with Promarkers
The sentiments are from the set too, added peach coloured pearls and DI in Marigold around the edges.
Dessert Bloom Papers from First Editon and cream pearls on the inside, SB Floral Ovals with sentiment.
Glamour Dust in Crystal of some lovely sparkle.

I can see where I might improve on this, the stamping could have been done a little closer and in more of a diagonal, but other than that not bad for a first attempt.

Have a super holiday weekend everyone and hope to see you soon.
