I used Hero Arts Sunburst stamp to do the water stamping. This was the second go after messing up the first sheet (thanks to Donna's idea I now have a pile of butterflies) I then used a Memento Rhubarb Stalk in to overstamp the Silhouette Grass(Hero Arts) and add the sentiment (Rosie's Studio) The butterfly was embossed in white onto vellum. I added the sheer ribbon and bow and scalloped the edge with a Martha Stewart punch. I have entered this into Anne's Distress ink challenge for August. I was going to enter it for Play Date Cafe's colour challenge but was too late :-( Also entered for Wee Memories ( butterfly) and Simon Says Stamp and Show ( Things with Wings)
On the health front... I have almost got rid of the cold/cough finally. I had a half day Monday and yesterday lasted till 3pm before having to come home and have a "Nana Nap" before tea!!!!! Today I managed a full day........ and did a half hour presentation at our Northern Regional Meeting - presented the overview of a workgroup I am involved in, to 45 of my peers. So feeling a bit tired tonight. I'm making a card the same as above but in greens - then off to bed for an early night.
Take care - the weekend is nearly here.... and only 2 days work next week for me!!!!

Wonderful cards (as allways) since my last visit to your blog. I haven´t been in the mood for card making since I came back from holiday hope it will come back to me ;0) It has been hard starting job after 4 weeks break and when I come home I just enjoy the sun and visit my friends. So for now I just enjoy my blogfriends creations!
Big hug Sanne
