Good Morning to You All, and how are you today? We have a lovely warm sunny day here, I hope you have too wherever you are.
Thank you so much for all the lovely comments on the star card, most appreciated and I love reading them.
I treated myself to a set of Spectrum Aqua pens, and I think I will need a bit of a practise with them, but here is a card that I made using them;
This is the new stamp from CB for their A Year of Stamping, and it is so lovely to colour.
I decided to use a selection of greens and yellows to give it a Spring look. I used the Spectrum Aqua pens to colour the image and to make the background. Sentiment is also from CB-- and I had stamped it before I realised that I was using butterflies and not flowers, however maybe you can have a bouquet of butterflies too, anything is possible in the crafting world.
Butterfly die from Crafty Individuals and some black ribbon. Black Gems from Papermania, and Butterfly Trails Glitter from Hunkydory.
I thought you might like to see a photo of us on board before the rot set in. Taken by the ships photographer, a bit expensive, but worth it as we don't have many of us both together and this one is rather nice;
taken at the Gala Night with our glad rags on.
That's me for now, enjoy your day and I'll see you soon,
I would like to enter my card into;

I saw this gorgeous card on FB yesterday, it's just beautiful with those lovely butterflies and the colours you have used.
A lovely picture of you both too, looks as if you were having a great time, such a shame that it ended the way it did though.

Hi Kate
You really should enter this over at House of Cards (butterfly challenge) as its fabulous.
A bouquet of butterflies sounds good to me and your card is stunning.
Lovely snap of you and Mr C. Good job the photographer didn't snap you a couple of days later.
Best wishes.

What a lovely card. Wish I could colour like that. Do you have something shimmery in the butterflies?
The holiday pic looks great. At least we know you had one good night.Pity the rest didn't match.

You did a lovely job with your new aqua pens.

So enjoyed seeing the 2 of you all dressed up and enjoying your cruise. Hope both of you are feeling so much improved by now. Also enjoyed your beautiful card, and looks to me like you have the knack of your new aqua SN down very nicely. I'm seeing many videos using these new w/c markers. The color combo is wonderful, as are your skill with the markers! Absolutely love the dimension of the butterfly too. Hugs & TFS
Fabulous card Kate, what a super colour!
