Butterflies and flowers

Ooh my photo skills are not too hot, why is that picture looking wonky? I don't know... anyhoo here is a thank you card. I'm going to be making a few of these over the next few days as I have a lot of people to thank for giving me such lovely presents.

The paper, card, flower and leaves are from Stampin-up. I forgot I had some die cut flowers and leaves so I cut these out myself from the printed paper - d'oh! The Butterfly is from Hero Arts 'Antique Engravings' clear set. The sentiment is also from Hero Arts.

Today it is Mother's Day in the UK. We are all going out for lunch soon and I just checked out the menu. It looks so delish!

Yesterday I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's beautiful butterfly card so I thought I would give it a try. Had a few bubbles in the glossy accents unfortunately but I think it adds to the butterfly's pattern :). The butterfly is from Hero Arts Winged Friends digital set, I resized and printed it out. It is coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks Shabby Shutters and Broken China - or green and blue as I sometimes call them!

I love inspirational quotes so I will leave you with one

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. - Frank Lloyd Wright, 1869-1959

Yay! I find that to be very true...
