Anyone who reads my blog will know I have rather an obsession with the butterflies in my garden. I spend huge amounts of time stalking them with my camera. So I thought I would have a butterfly theme for the very first Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge - a brand new challenge blog you will find here. 
My butterflies have been created from vellum, Earthangel's wings and the butterfly body stamp Claire very cleverly included with this set. I don't think I'm very good with sketches! I don't do them very often and find it quite hard to follow one - it has taken me three days to be happy with this card and its passed through quite a few versions in that time!
I created this butterfly digital scrapbook page some time ago when I was feeling really guilty one day about the time I had wasted chasing butterflies when I should have been weeding!
A beautiful card and a stunning scrapbook page. You are so talented Ann.

What a gorgeous use of that set - it would have never accured to my mind to use the wings for butterflies - how clever you are!
ReplyDeleteGreat card!

ReplyDeleteWell I'm so glad you visited my blog, because it gave me the chance to discover YOURS! I absolutely love your butterfly card!! And glancing through your previous postings I must say you are very creative and talented, and it will be a pleasure to become a follower :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous! I love the "frame" you've created for the butterflies! Love the digi page too!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty Ann!! I love your fluttering of butterflies on your wonderful sketch card! what great colors you used - and your page is just stunning too! no wonder you ignore the weeds!! thanks for playing with the WMS challenge this week and for such inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Ann!!!! That card is just breath taking!!!! I love how those butterflies seem to just flutter right off the card. Beautifully done. Oh no worries, if my garden has butterflies like those...I wouldn't be weeding neither.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky. We rarely have butterflies here in Hawaii. And when I see one, it's mostly the tiny white one...never seen the multi-colors ones before. How I wish to visit your beautiful place in the near future. :)
Beautiful card! Love your design! And if you didn't chase those butterflies we would not get to see those pictures of them. Thank you for sharing a part of your world with us!
