Catch up time.....

 Well the best laid plans etc..... I had intended to show you some more of my last weekend's projects... my week was busy and I was exhausted each night... add in physiotherapy on my shoulder, optometrist appointment and a short week.   So here's another couple of the cards I made. 

For my first one I used the Altenew layering stencil.  This time I used it, I flipped the stencil to have the flower going the other direction.  Loved how quick this card came together.   All my inks were Altenew.  

I am entering this into the latest "The Flower Challenge"  Pretty Pastels.  

Next up another floral

This one uses Altenew Natures Blossom and the matching stencil/mask and dies.   I also used the 3D embossing folder for a textured background.  Added the sentiment, white embossed onto black card.  

And I have one more card to share today.  I saw the STAMPlorations Blog Hop - Things with Wings.  I had a butterfly background that's been sitting around for a long time...and yesterday I made it into a card.  

The butterflies (Hero Arts) were stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with Zig Markers.  I then sprayed it with some glitter spray.  I wasn't sure I liked it... so it sat around.  I trimmed it down and added a little sentiment embossed on black card.  It totally shimmers in real life.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you weekend is going well.

Beautiful cards, Dawn. I bought the same Altenew stencil recently but so far haven't managed to use it without getting ink smudged where I don't want it! x
