Have you checked out Embellish Magazine's current challenge. The colours are fab and the theme is butterflies.
Here is my card. Like yesterday, it's a bit different from my usual style I think (look, no stitching), but I got a new butterfly die (HERE), and once I'd got black butterflies in my mind... I was off. My husband was scornful... "a black butterfly", he said, "where do you see those?"
Answer: In my mind. Obviously.
Answer: In my mind. Obviously.
E.T.A - just noticed... there IS stitching. Lots of it.
I'm overtired. :(
