Tiny butterflies and a pearl embellishment.

Getting very hot here now.
I have had to bring the fan int my craft room and stay out of there until the afternoon when the sun has moved around to the side of the building.

Otherwise, I just have to sit in living room under the ceiling fan and make MORE Embellishments.!!!!!!

Waterfall Card

Good Morning All

I bought a set of Waterfall cards bases from Create & craft years ago and still have quite afew of them.

One of my ladies at my craft club wanted to make something different so I took the box along for her to play with.

This is one I made, very basic but pretty.

I think the papers are from C&C too.

You may have noticed that nearly everything I make at present has tiny butterflies on LOL.

Seville Pics

Good Morning All

Here are afew pics of Seville.

We stayed in an apartment in the old city, very central for everything we wanted to see.

Very hot though, I dont think I would like to go any later in the year.

My first view of the cathedral, just 1 minute from our door.

Horse drawn carts around the old city

We had to have a ride along the Guadalquivir river, a little cooler there.

 I remember this place from the first time I visited Seville years ago.

The Plaze de España.

An amazing building, some of it is now used for Council offices.

 The Alcázar of Seville

The Cathedral of St. Mary.

And finally, the Metropol Parasol know as The Mushrooms, all made from wood I believe.

I could show loads more but I wont bore you all.

Thanks for visiting.

A Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

Good Morning All

I made these cards before I went to Seville on my Birthday actually (27th May).

It was the day of the cup final and I had had a bit of a bad week, depression.  Probably started off with Manchester then some family problems, anyway, I felt happier after spending the afternoon in my craft room.

As you know I love making embellishments and I have loads and loads of these butterflies in a multitude of colours.

I always put a pack of them in the raffle prize at my craft club, I bet the ladies are sick of them !!!!

Anyway, onto the cards.

It started with this one, I did the parchment at my craft class on Friday, the day before my birthday.

I added a homemade gem to the centre but it had an error at the bottom so added a butterfly.

Then this one using Sue Wilson 'Cascading Butterfly ' die.

And I added one of my little butterflies to the centres of each of these.

I had a sheet of glittered, die cut squares  in my stash for  years, perfect for what I had in mind.

6 x 6 card blanks.

These two, I added coloured paper behind the cut out squares,

then a butterfly in each square except the centre, where I added a sentiment.

5 x 5 card blanks.

These two are smaller squares so put them on diagonally.

Same technique as the previous ones.

And finally.

4 x 6 card blank, Phill Martin paper

5 x 7 card blank

No sentiment.

So that is my Kaleidoscope of Butterflies.
